Reviews

A first-rate overview of and contribution to contemporary debates in the philosophy of the social sciences... . Like philosophers of natural science, Bohman places more emphasis than his predecessors on careful examination of successful research, more emphasis on what presuppositions researchers bring to their work, and less emphasis on demarcating 'good' from 'bad' science by appeal to first principles... . Highly recommended for advanced undergraduate and graduate students. --D. Christie, University of New Hampshire, Choice
