Brian Fay Knihy

Kniha se zabývá základními metodologickými a filozofickými otázkami věd o společnosti. Přehlednou formou prezentuje stěžejní problémové okruhy a tlumočí odpovědi na ně. Kniha současně ukazuje, co je to multikulturalismus nikoliv v politickém, ale ve vědeckém kontextu: odpovídá na otázku, jak multikulturní hledisko nenásilně aplikovat na analýzu epistemologických základů sociálních věd a na kritiku všech významných gnoseologických směrů.

The author advocates for a radical rethinking of our understanding of the world, ourselves, and God, proposing a richer ecological ethics. Brian Fay's exploration offers a transformative vision for being responsible and thriving agents within our environment.
