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.\" \u003ci\u003ePhilosophia, Vol 28, June 2001\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements. \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: A Multicultural Approach to the Philosophy of Social Science.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1.
