Zustand: Sehr Gut. Zustandsbeschreibung: Mängelexemplar/near mint. Disputes over the nature of sociology abound because «sociology» and also sociologists' terms such as «poverty» and «racism» are essentially contested concepts. They can never be given final definition. Recognition of this fact can produce an open-mindedness often lacking in the field. VIII,197 Seiten, gebunden (American University Studies.

Instead, uncritically accepting the often absurd beliefs swirling around them, too many lack the skepticism needed to avoid global disaster. The claim of this book is that humans need to question everything they think they know. The way the human brain works is impressive and has taken Homo sapiens a long way. However, it is also the source of our failure to doubt. Janet B. Winn explores consciousness first, then the sense of self and how it affects thought. Subsequent chapters deal with beliefs - about reality, politics, religion, pseudo-science - and attempts made to explain human behavior by the social sciences. This concept includes a consideration of the failure to grasp the meaning of evolution, the evolution of language, and how language distorts understanding, along with the role culture plays in these distortions.
