It is designed both for students with central interests in philosophy and those planning to concentrate on the social sciences, and it presupposes no particular background in either domain. From the wide range of topics at the forefront of debate in philosophy of social science, the editors have chosen those which are representative of the most important and interesting contemporary work. A team of distinguished experts explore key aspects of the field such as social ontology (what are the things that social science studies?), objectivity, formal methods, measurement, and causal inference. Also included are chapters focused on notable subjects of social science research, such as well-being and climate change. \u003cem\u003ePhilosophy of Social Science\u003c\/em\u003e provides a clear, accessible, and up-to-date guide to this fascinating field.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNancy Cartwright\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Philosophy at the Department of Philosophy, University of Durham and at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD).
