Synopsis

Book by Habermas Jrgen

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In this wide–ranging work, now available in paperback, Habermas presents his views on the nature of the social sciences and their distinctive methodology and concerns. He examines, among other things, the traditional division between the natural sciences and the social sciences; the characteristics of social action and the implications of theories of language for social enquiry; and the nature, tasks and limitations of hermeneutics. Habermas′ analysis of these and other themes is, as always, rigorous, perceptive and constructive.
This brilliant study succeeds in highlighting the distinctive characteristics of the social sciences and in outlining the nature of, and prospects for, critical theory today.

Revue de presse :

′ On the logic of the Social Sciences is a fine tribute to the care with which Habermas prepared his [intellectual] expedition. His survey of the literature of social scientific theory is inclusive and incisive.′ Times Higher Education Supplement

′The vision of this book remains powerful and there is still much to be learned and gained from this, one of Habermas′s most accessible, practical, and relevant texts.′ Environment and Planning
