Product Description

Review

"It is penetrating in its discussion of the issues but written in an engaging and accessible way. Highly recommended." Choice

"In a textbook fashion that is accessible to undergraduate and graduate students alike, Fay offers a multicultural/dialectical approach to social inquiry that is designed to eliminate the traditional dualistic way of thinking that currently dominates the philosophy of social science. For those who are wont to explore the many questions that philosophers of social science are most interested in examining, I would definitely suggest Fay′s book. He clearly articulates and assesses many of the difficult arguments in the philosophy of social science." Philosophia, Vol 28, June 2001



Product Description

This volume provides a lucid and distinct introduction to multiculturalism and the philosophy of social science.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fresh look ..., 28 Feb 2004
By JP Williams "meribelman" (Wales) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An enlightening read for post grad researchers in business. It clearly reflects multiculturalism in organisational social science as a phenomenon that has hitherto been less visible. A good read, but not academically challenging, it stimulates thought and consideration that others have failed to do.
