Philosophy of Social Science: A Contemporary Introduction examines perennial questions of philosophy through engaging the empirical study of society. Questions of naturalism concern the relationship between the natural and the social sciences. Questions of normativity concern the place of values in social scientific inquiry.
This accessible text offers a comprehensive overview of debates in the field, with special attention to new research programs. And questions of reductionism ask how social institutions relate to the people who constitute them. Topics include the relationship of social policy to social science, interpretive research, cognitive and evolutionary explanations, intentional action explanation, rational choice theory, conventions and social norms, joint intentionality, causal inference, and experimentation.
