Klappentext Here, a group of scholars explore the past, present and future of the social sciences.

Zusammenfassung A distinguished international group of scholars traces the history of the social sciences, describes the recent debates surrounding them, and discusses in what ways they can be intelligently restructured in light of this history and the debates.
