The Flight From Reality In The Human Sciences by Ian Shapiro
Essays in Honor of Donald P. Green
The book critically examines the tendency within the human sciences to detach from empirical reality, focusing on how theoretical abstractions can lead to a disconnect from practical, real-world issues. It argues for a return to more grounded, evidence-based approaches that prioritize practical relevance and applicability. Through a critique of various intellectual movements, the book advocates for a balance between theoretical innovation and empirical validation, emphasizing the importance of addressing tangible human problems and fostering a more engaged and responsible scholarship.
