À propos de l'œuvre

"In Science, Politics and Social Practice (Volume II of Essays in honor of Robert S. Cohen), an international group of scholars - philosophers, sociologists, historians, and political scientists - discuss issues at the cutting edge of contemporary social and political thought, and its bearing on science. Several essays discuss the relations of Marxism to science, and specifically, to the philosophies of science of Carnap and Popper, as well as Soviet Marxism, and the effects of Stalinism on Soviet science. There are also essays on the philosophy and methodology of the social sciences, on questions of method and aim in historical narrative, on the issue of cultural relativism, and more."--BOOK JACKET.
