    Introductions to the subject

    1 The Blackwell guide to the philosophy of the social sciences

    S.P. Turner and P.A. Roth, eds Blackwell, 2003, 382pp. £21.99. ISBN 9780631215387.

    www.blackwellreference.com/public [FEE-BASED]

    ‘The structure of this anthology reflects the editors’ views of the change in the underlying problematic governing philosophy of social science. The issues are no longer organized around the familiar topics borrowed from philosophy of science: what is a law, what is an explanation, what are the ontological units (e.g. holism v. individualism), which sciences are primary (reductionism), what is the structure of theories and so forth. Rather, we now find a field organized around a poorly bounded collection of crosscutting debates and issues … Many topics compete in the struggle to unify understanding of how social science does function as well as how it ought to …’

    13 excellent state-of-the-art essays organized into three Parts: I. Pasts; II. Programs; III. Problematics. Substantial bibliography.

    2 Continental philosophy of social science

    Y. Sherratt Cambridge University Press, 2006, 241pp. £14.99. ISBN 9780521670982.

    Provides a rewarding counterpoint to the predominant Anglo- American philosophy of social science. Particularly good at contextualizing and contrasting the two approaches, stressing that continental philosophy of social science is ‘a distinguished and autonomous strand of thought in its own right. Continental schools have their own canon of thinkers, pose their own questions, set their own agendas and have a rich, deep history stemming back to Ancient Greece, Rome and early Christendom. In fact, it is this connection to its Ancient past, let us say its humanism, that defines the continental tradition’.

    3 The elements of social scientific thinking

    K.R. Hoover and T. Donovan 8th edn, Thomson/Wadsworth, 2004, 223pp. $34.95. ISBN 9780534614119.

    Good, short, ‘uncomplicated’ introduction. Each chapter has a helpful preview and ends with a list of concepts introduced. There is a good section on ‘measuring variables and relationships’.

    4 Great expectations – the social sciences in Great Britain

    Commission on the Social Sciences Transaction Publishers, 2004, 166pp. £21.95. ISBN 0765808498.

    Valuable overview ranging – in Section A – from ‘What are the social sciences and what are they for?’ through ‘Social sciences and the outside world (aka society)’ to ‘The future of the social sciences’. Section B provides extensive data on ‘The nature, scale and financial support of the social sciences in Britain’. Good short bibiliography.

  • Summary

    How TNW is organized

    Entries are hierarchically classified by subject area to four levels:

  • ■ At the highest level are the Subject Parts, in the order Psychology, Sociology & Social Work; Politics, Law & Government; Finance, Industry & Business; Education & Sport; and Media & Information.

  • ■ At the next level are the thirteen Subject Groupings, three each in Psychology, Sociology & Social Work, Politics, Law & Government and Finance, Industry & Business and two each in Education & Sport and Media & Information.

  • ■ Each Grouping is then sub-divided into around one hundred Subject Fields.

  • ■ In many of the Subject Groupings, where the subject demands more detailed categorization, subject fields have themselves been further subdivided in Subject Subfields.

  • ■ There are also two generic collections of entries: one at the start, describing resources covering the whole of Social Sciences (and, in some cases, all disciplines); and one at the other end, highlighting tools that are especially valuable for information professionals.

    • Within this structure, descriptions of resources are allocated to one of the subject areas and then placed within one of thirteen Resource Categories:

  • [1] INTRODUCTIONS TO THE SUBJECT

  • [2] DICTIONARIES, THESAURI, CLASSIFICATIONS

  • [3] LAWS, STANDARDS, CODES

  • [4] OFFICIAL & QUASI-OFFICIAL BODIES

  • [5] RESEARCH CENTRES & INSTITUTES

  • [6] ASSOCIATIONS & SOCIETIES

  • [7] LIBRARIES, ARCHIVES & MUSEUMS

  • [8] PORTAL & TASK ENVIRONMENTS

  • [9] DISCOVERING PRINT & ELECTRONIC RESOURCES

  • [10] DIGITAL DATA, IMAGE & TEXT COLLECTIONS

  • [11] DIRECTORIES & ENCYCLOPEDIAS

  • [12] HANDBOOKS & MANUALS

  • [13] KEEPING UP TO DATE

    • For around a quarter of the resources, we have appended descriptions of associated or related resources (for example, additional items from the same producer or alternative views of the subject).

    We do not duplicate or cross-reference entries within the set of resource categories for a specific subject area: if a resource description could equally well be placed within two (or more) categories, it will usually appear in the category earliest in the sequence. However, we do frequently cross-reference (but not duplicate) resource descriptions between different subject areas. In a few special instances, mainly in the section on Law, the same resource has been given an entry in several subject subfields, where a part of that resource is in itself an important authority in the narrow focus of the subfield; for similar reasons the key resource Intute has its own entry in several of TNW's subject sections.
