1. Values, Objectivity, And The Social Sciences
"Values, Objectivity, and the Social Sciences" explores the complex interplay between values and objectivity in social science research. The book critically examines the assumption that social sciences can be value-free and highlights how values inevitably influence both the choice of research topics and the interpretation of data. Through a philosophical lens, the text delves into the implications of these influences for the objectivity and credibility of social science research, arguing for a more reflexive and transparent approach in acknowledging the role of values. The book also discusses strategies for maintaining rigorous standards while accepting the subjective elements inherent in social science inquiry.
