Description
Social Science by Gerard Delanty provides a concise and accessible exploration of core ideas in social science. This second edition builds upon the success of its predecessor, incorporating new material to address contemporary debates and developments. Key topics include postmodern and feminist approaches, the crisis in social science, and an overview of major philosophical shifts in the field. The text examines the positivist dispute, hermeneutic theory, and critical conceptions of social science, drawing on influential thinkers such as Popper, Kuhn, Weber, Schutz, Taylor, Marxism, Adorno, and Habermas. Suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as professional researchers in related fields, Social Science offers a valuable resource for understanding the philosophy of social science, sociology of science and knowledge, and social and political theory.
