Semantics and Social Science

Informationen zum Autor Graham MacDonald, Philip Pettit Klappentext Originally published in 1980, this book examines the major issues in the philosophy of social science, paying specific attention to cross-cultural understanding, humanism versus scientism, individualism versus collectivism, and the shaping of theory by evaluative commitment.
