Leon J. Goldstein Knihy

Leon J. Goldstein critically examines the philosophical role of concepts and concept formation in the social sciences. The book undertakes a study of concept formation and change by looking at four critical terms in anthropology (kinship), politics (parliament and the general will), and sociology (individualism).

A collection of papers dealing with history as a way of knowing, not a mode of discourse. It attempts to render intelligible explaining the past and knowing the past, mainly systematically but also through attention to Collingwood's work.
