The Philosophy of The Social Sciences by Alan Ryan
In the concluding chapters the role of the social sciences as ideologies is discussed, first in the context of social theorists' ambitions for a science which offers long-range predictions of social phenomena, and finally in the context of doubts about the possibility of objectivity in the description and analysis of social facts.
ALAN RYAN teaches politics and philosophy at New College, Oxford. In the past he has taught at the Universities of Keele and Essex, as well as at the City University of New York. He has written, reviewed and broadcast on a variety of topics and believes that philosophy should be made accessible to a wider audience than professionals. He is the author of The Philosophy of John Stuart Mill.
