Description
Knowledge and the Social Sciences: Theory, Method, Practice by David S. Goldblatt explores how knowledge shapes social change in contemporary society. This text examines the role of the social sciences in understanding the explosion of knowledge in the modern world. The author argues that all forms of knowledge must be understood within their social context, and that the social sciences both describe and transform what they study. The book introduces key concepts and arguments essential for further study in the social sciences, covering topics such as everyday thinking, medical science, religious belief systems, and environmental change. By investigating the origins and consequences of different types of knowledge, this text provides a radical and practical introduction to ways of thinking and knowing in the social sciences.
