Description
Why Things Matter to People: Social Science, Values and Ethical Life by Andrew Sayer
This book offers a fundamental critique of social science's limitations in acknowledging the evaluative nature of human experience. Sayer argues that values are not beyond reason, but rather closely tied to our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.
He makes the case for a more critical approach to social theory and philosophy, one that takes into account the complexities of everyday ethical concerns and the importance people attach to dignity. By exploring this new perspective, Sayer aims to provide a richer understanding of human flourishing.
