This 1996 book defends the prospects for a science of society and argues that behind the diverse methods of the natural sciences lies a common core of scientific rationality that the social sciences can and sometimes do achieve. Kincaid also argues that good social science must be in part about large-scale social structures and processes.
This book defends the prospects for a science of society and argues that behind the diverse methods of the natural sciences lies a common core of scientific rationality that the social sciences can and sometimes do achieve. It also argues that good social science must duly reflect large-scale social structures and processes and thus that methodological individualism is misguided.
