"The first edition of Trigg's book was already an excellent text in
the philosophy of social science. Not only did it strike a high
level of philosophical sophistication, but it was unique among such
texts in making ideas of Ludwig Wittgenstein fruitful and in
approaching the question of objectivity in social inquiry partly
through the sociology of knowledge. The new or expanded discussions
of perspectivalism, reason, politics, and social reality only make
it better." Ted Schatzki, University of Kentucky
"Trigg's study is a lively and informative introduction to the philosophical issues at the heart of our efforts to either understand or explain social phenomena. He questions naturalistic accounts of social science and argues that the core philosophical assumptions within such inquiry will prove neither innocuous nor dissolve through empirical methods." Robert D'Amico, University of Florida
