Sinopsis

Ranging from cultural anthropology to mathematical economics, this is a revised and expanded edition of an introduction to the philosophical foundations of the human sciences. The author takes readers through behaviourism, naturalism, interpretativism about human action, and macro-social scientific perspectives, setting out to illuminate the motivation and strategy of each. The book includes new discussions of positivism, European philosophy of history, causation, statistical law, quantitative models, and post-empiricist social science, together with an updated literature guide that links chapters to widely anthologized papers. The author won the 1993 Lakatos Prize for "Mathematical Politics or Science of Diminishing Returns".
