Social Reality

Social reality is a key problem in the philosophy of social science. This book outlines the major issues - historical and contemporary - raised by the social reality and social facts. This book has something to offer both philosopher and social scientist. To the former it shows how the well-worn topic of realism versus anti-realism assumes new and interestingly varied forms when social reality is substituted for physical reality. For the social scientist, the book offers conceptual clarification of key issues in recent social science which are really philosophical issues.
