Making Realism Work: Realist Social Theory and Empirical Research: Ontological Explorations (Routledge Critical Realism)

Editat de Bob Carter, Caroline New
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 19 aug 2004
In this innovative book, theorists and researchers from various social science disciplines explore the potential of realist social theory for empirical research. The examples are drawn from a wide range of fields health and medicine, crime, housing, sociolinguistics, development theory and deal with issues such as causality, probability, and reflexivity in social science. Varied and lively contributions relate central methodological issues to detailed accounts of research projects which adopt a realist framework.

Making Realism Work provides an accessible discussion of a significant current in contemporary social science and will be of interest to social theorists and social researchers alike.
