Normativity and Naturalism in the Philosophy of the Social Sciences by Mark Risjord

Normativity and Naturalism in the Philosophy of the Social Sciences by Mark Risjord

This collection brings together contributions from a diverse group of philosophers who explore a broad but thematically unified set of questions on the role of naturalism in the philosophy of the social sciences.

"This nice volume edited by Risjord clarifies how hard the job of the normativist has become.. Undoubtedly normativists will continue to produce ingenious arguments to preserve the idea that philosophy can not only survive or co-exist with, but even compete with science. In order to do that, they will have to engage seriously with the many conceptual and empirical obstacles that are laid out in this volume." —Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews

"This book picks up a core current debate over whether normativity and naturalism can be reconciled in social science, and extends and deepens it. No philosopher of social science should ignore it." —Don Ross, University of Cape Town, South Africa

Mark Risjord is Professor of Philosophy at Emory University, USA.
