Explaining Society : Critical Realism in the Social Sciences Hardback
by Berth (Orebro University, Sweden,) Danermark, Mats (University of Gothenburg, Sweden) Ekstrom, Jan Ch. Karlsson
Part of the Routledge Studies in Critical Realism series
Hardback
Description
Fully revised, with an updated bibliography and new, relevant illustrative examples based on work inspired by critical realism, this new edition of Explaining Society constitutes an up-to-date resource connecting methodology, theory, and empirical research.
Including discussions of more recent scholarship in the field which connects critical realism with interdisciplinary research, this second edition also clarifies concepts – such as retroduction and retrodiction – so as to render them consistent with developments within critical realism, which are covered in a new chapter.
An accessible account of the nature of society and social science, together with the methods used to study and explain social phenomena, Explaining Society will appeal to scholars of sociology, philosophy, and the social sciences more broadly.
