About this ebook
The
essays in this collection analyze the successes and failures of the social
sciences over the last few decades as well as on their future. The focus of the
book is on generic problems, difficulties, and dilemmas in the social sciences
that the contributors are uniquely qualified to articulate. Each of them has
been intimately involved in the development of one or another discipline in the
last thirty years or so; each has made significant contributions to that
development in many ways; each has a personal perspective on accomplishments
and failures, promises and needs, continuities to be cultivated and opportunities
to be seized.
." . . anyone concerned with the state of social science disciplines should find these essays of interest." - Journal of Politics
