The Cambridge History of Science, Volume 7: The Modern Social Sciences by Theodore M. Porter (PDF)

Description

Forty-two essays by authors from five continents and many disciplines provide a synthetic account of the history of the social sciences – including behavioral and economic sciences since the late eighteenth century. The authors emphasize the cultural and intellectual preconditions of social science, and its contested but important role in the history of the modern world. While there are many historical books on particular disciplines, there are very few about the social sciences generally, and none that deal with so much of the world over so long a timespan.

Editorial Reviews: Review “The volume is a major contribution to communicating a contemporary understanding of science as integral to the life of the modern world. Both general historians and historians of science, not to mention scientists themselves, who think science is something apart may find this weighty volume hard to ignore. readers who already work in one of the many branches of the protean field will find most helpful and interesting ways into related areas. Students and teachers alike will surely find it a major resource.” Journal of the History of the Behavioural Sciences Book Description An account of the history of the social sciences since the late eighteenth century.
