The Expanded Social Scientist's Bestiaryby D. C. Phillips
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:The (Expanded) Social Scientist's Bestiary addresses a number of important theoretical and philosophical issues in the social sciences from the perspective of contemporary philosophy of science. This expanded and revised edition contains four new chapters tackling such contemporary beasts as Popperian rules, narrative research, and various forms of constructivism. The chapters presented in this volume are, as far as possible, self-contained so that each chapter can be consulted without the necessity of having read the others, thus making this volume an invaluable guide for faculty members and graduate students in the whole of the social sciences and related applied fields. Book News Annotation:There has been much skepticism about the possibility of producing a
naturalistic social science that is structurally or methodologically
similar to the natural sciences. Phillips (education and philosophy,
Stanford University) contends that these skeptical arguments are
flawed, and argues in defense of the possibility of producing a
naturalistic social science. He examines narrative research and
social constructionism, and offers a neo-Popperian account of
falsificationism.
