Theory and Progress in Social Science

Klappentext
This work asks if social inquiry can truly be considered a progressive 'science'.

Zusammenfassung
This work attacks questions about the cumulative nature of social inquiry: Does the knowledge generated by the study of social, political, and economic life grow more comprehensive over time? This concern goes to the heart of social scientists' soul-searching as to whether they are indeed engaged in 'science'.
