Models and Interpretations

Viac o knihe

Exploring sociology and anthropology, this essay collection delves into topics like lineage systems, social networks, and colonialism, reflecting the author's belief that social science should reveal what truly occurs. Each piece retains its original theoretical stance, accompanied by contextual introductory notes. A new introduction elaborates on the author's perspective of social science as model construction rather than law-seeking, culminating in a final chapter that presents a model of the modeling process itself.
