About this title

Synopsis

This volume seeks to create solid conceptual ground for a new start in biosocial theory because its method draws on two major episodes in the discovery of general theory: a methods of comparison and classification, practiced explicitly in the Darwinian episode and tacitly in the Newtonian. The result, "Compositional Theory" is then used to interpret Western history and the late-1990s situation. The book raises issues not only for the philosophy of science and social science, but also for anyone concerned about the current ordeal of the modern outlook.
