New Philosophy of Social Science

Under the influence of post-empiricism, philosophy of science has in recent years begun to show a healthier respect for history and actual practice. In this accessible account, James Bohman shows how this model can be applied to the social sciences, opening the way for a new synthesis that finds rigor within the necessary indeterminacy of practice.

James Bohman is Danforth Professor of Philosophy at Saint Louis University. He is the author, editor, or translator of many books.
