Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the philosophical foundations of social inquiry, this book critiques sociology's current inability to critically assess the human condition. It highlights five essential questions regarding knowledge certainty, political viability, self-continuity, past accessibility, and future transparency. By exploring how these issues have been addressed over the last 200 years, the author seeks to revive sociology's critical capacity and engage with enduring questions that remain relevant in contemporary discourse.
