In this new and ambitious work he shifts his attention to the social sciences and the social technologies. He considers a number of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, economics, political science, law, history, and management science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBunge contends that social science research has fallen prey to a postmodern fascination with irrationalism and relativism. He urges social scientists to re-examine the philosophy and the methodology at the base of their discipline. Bunge calls for objective and relevant fact-finding, rigorous theorizing, and empirical testing, as well as morally sensitive and socially responsible policy design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mario Bunge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0802083579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802083579\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/16\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.03h x 6.05w x 1.45d","brand":"Mario Bunge","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47039741886719,"sku":"9780802083579","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_83c1bb7e-0e0c-48c7-aaf5-6b6322238c75.jpg?v=1752752423","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/social-science-under-debate-mario-bunge-9780802083579","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
