What Holism Can Do for Social Theory

Barbara Hanson

4.9/5 (27336 ratings)

Description:This book reconsiders the nature of positivist philosophy in social science theory based on classical and medieval thought in what later became Europe. It argues that social theory is being held back by antagonistic debates over science, positivism, objectivity, and universal law - debates which appear unnecessary, narrow, and acontextual when their origins are examined. Positing that solutions to these impasses can be found by moving to alternative holistic epistemology, and looking at issues in terms of interrelations rather than parts, the book shows the promise of a social theory that provides a unit of analysis that mediates between local and global relations.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
