Making Social Science Matter presents an exciting new approach to the social and behavioral sciences including theoretical argument, methodological guidelines, and examples of practical application. Why has social science failed in attempts to emulate natural science and produce normal theory? Bent Flyvbjerg argues that the strength of social sciences lies in its rich, reflexive analysis of values and power, essential to the social and economic development of any society. Richly informed, powerfully argued, and clearly written, this book opens up a new future for the social sciences. Its empowering message will make it required reading for students and academics across the social and behavioral sciences.

原文摘录
· · · · · ·
we will see that in their role as phronesis,the social sciences are strongest where the natural sciences are weakest;just as the social sciences have not contributed to explanatory and predicative theory,neither have the natural sciences contributed to the reflexive analysis and discussion of values and interests,which is the prerequisite for an enlightened political,economic, and cultural development in any society,and which is at the core of phronesis. This should also be the core of social science if we want to transcend the current malaise of the Science Wars. (查看原文)

在iPad上读完整本的第一本书。导师推荐的，回答了很多平时思考的问题，比如做社科研究的意义是什么。讲起理论来很清楚通透，也许是作者不是英语母语者的原因，语言读起来也相对容易理解（没那么多生词）。

社会学科不是为了创造，而是为了改变。
