The Origins of American Social Science - Ideas in Context
Ross, Dorothy (The Johns Hopkins University)
This book examines how American social science came to model itself on natural science and liberal politics. Professor Ross shows how each of the social science disciplines, while developing their inherited intellectual traditions, responded to change in historical consciousness, political needs, professional structures, and the conceptions of science available to them.
