SOCIAL SCIENTIST'S BESTIARY

The Social Scientist's Bestiary addresses a number of important theoretical and philosophical issues in the social sciences from the perspective of contemporary philosophy of science. It is intended to guide social scientists - researchers, teachers and students - so that they will not fall victim to the beasts they will encounter in the course of their enquiries. Such beasts include holism, post-positivistic work in the philosophy of science, Kuhnian relativism, the denial of objectivity, hermeneutics and several others, both good and bad.Phillips, D. C. is the author of 'SOCIAL SCIENTIST'S BESTIARY', published 1992 under ISBN 9780080402543 and ISBN 0080402542.
