SOC-SCI 5610      Philosophy Of Social Science
This course examines the development of the philosophy of science since the end of the 19th century. In this regard, Positivism, Conventionalism, and Realism as the three major conceptions of science will be studied and their significance as philosophical foundations of the social sciences will be assessed. Particular attention will be given to the emerging philosophy of science (i.e., Scientific Realism) which has profoundly challenged the more established Positivism.
