| Description: |
This introductory text offers a new approach to the philosophy of social science by focusing on what is involved in knowing others from different cultures or historical periods. Particular issues discussed are the interpretation of meaning, critical theory, and narrative as a form of knowledge. |
| Synopsis: |
This volume offers a new and distinct multicultural approach to the philosophy of social science. In providing a complete introductory overview of the nature of social inquiry, Fay explores issues inherent in the study of human beings from the perspective of cultural and social difference.Among the important topics explored are: the self and its relation to others: culture and society: rationality and intelligibility: relativism and objectivity: and the relation of history to social science.Although the book appropriates insights from hermeneutics, poststructuralism, and critical theory, in addition to the analytic philosophy of social science, it is written in a clear non-technical style. It provides the ideal text for students in the philosophy of social science, for those engaged in social science, and for those interested in multiculturalism. |

A History of Modern Britain
"A History of Modern Britain" confronts head-on the victory of shopping over politics. It tells the story of how the great political visions of New Jerusalem or a second Elizabethan Age, rival idealisms, came to be defeated by a culture of consumerism, celebrity and self-gratification.
