Inhaltsangabe

It can no longer be taken for granted that existing expert knowledges will be greeted as the undisputed truth. Social change in the 20th century has brought with it the realization that all forms of knowledge, the social sciences included, must be seen and understood in their social contexts. This book provides an introduction to key philosophical and epistemological issues in the social sciences, to both positivist and interpretative methodologies, through comparing and evaluating the debates surrounding change in the areas of medicine, religion, politics and the environment.
