Description: Wittgenstein among the Sciences by Rupert Read, Edited by Simon Summers Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Discussing the work of Kuhn, Winch and Wittgenstein in relation to fundamental question of methodology, this title undertakes an examination of the nature of (natural) science itself, in the light of which a series of successive cases of putatively scientific disciplines are analysed. Publisher Description Engaging with the question of the extent to which the so-called human, economic or social sciences are actually sciences, this book moves away from the search for a criterion or definition that will allow us to sharply distinguish the scientific from the non-scientific. Instead, the book favours the pursuit of clarity with regard to the various enterprises undertaken by human beings, with a view to dissolving the felt need for such a demarcation. In other words, Read pursues a therapeutic approach to the issue of the status and nature of these subjects. Discussing the work of Kuhn, Winch and Wittgenstein in relation to fundamental question of methodology, Wittgenstein among the Sciences undertakes an examination of the nature of (natural) science itself, in the light of which a series of successive cases of putatively scientific disciplines are analysed. A novel and significant contribution to social science methodology and the philosophy of science and the human sciences, this book will be of interest to social scientists and philosophers, as well as to psychiatrists, economists and cognitive scientists.
