Sinopsis

King (political science, Hendrix College) defends dialectical thinking first by finding the methodological unity within competing models of scientific thought, and then describing the Marxian dialectic inherent in the natural science model of inquiry. Attention is given to issues of consilience, holistic-relational sciences, and homology. The applications of a scientific dialectical methodology in the social sciences are discussed. And the political consequences of dialectical, holistic-relational social science are considered. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

Reseña del editor

This study places dialectical thinking, theory, and method on a solid scientific footing with respect to the contemporary sciences of holistic-relationism; and offers a competing, even superior, philosophy of social science to the mainstream version of positivistic-behaviourism. It also indicates ways in which a dialectical, holistic-relational social science will help to shape a more democratic, humane style of politics and public policy. It subjects mainstream social science to wholesale reorientation, and in doing so, offers a valid prescription for a post-positivistic, post-behaviourist social science that is scientifically grounded.
