Description

A Humanist Science: Values and Ideals in Social Inquiry by Philip Selznick provides a unique perspective on the social sciences. This work challenges the traditional separation of fact and value, arguing that human values are an integral part of the factual world. Selznick explores the connection between the social sciences and the humanities, highlighting how the methods of the social sciences can enrich our understanding of values such as well-being, prosperity, rationality, and self-government. By examining the core teachings of law, sociology, political science, and philosophy, Selznick sheds light on the conditions that affect the emergence, realization, and decline of human values. This book offers a valuable resource for scholars and students seeking to understand the moral issues at stake in social and political institutions.
