Realism, Philosophy and Social Science

by Kathryn Dean, John Michael Roberts, Colin Wight, et al.

Book Overview

The authors examine the relationship between social science and philosophy and ask what sort of work social science and an accompanying philosophy should do. They reintroduce the question of ontology, through the work of Roy Bhaskar. The book argues against philosophising and is committed to a philosophical approach grounded in the social sciences.
