New Philosophy of Social Science: Problems of Indeterminacy.

By James Bohman

Book Overview

The main argument of this book is that social phenomena are shot through with indetertminacy and open-endedness, and that explanations in research programmes should find ways to deal with the problems that indeterminacy raises. It aims to provide a synthetic treatment of the main issues of the philosophy of social science from a post-empiricist perspective, including causality, rules, interpretation, holism, and social criticism.
