"This is a book I have been waiting for for a long time. It opens up entirely new perspectives for social science by showing us that abandoning the aspiration to be like natural science is the beginning of wisdom about what we can and ought to be doing instead. It is a landmark book that deserves the widest possible reading and discussion."
--Robert Bellah, Professor of Sociology, Emeritus, at University of California, Berkeley
"This is social science that matters."
--Pierre Bourdieu, Director of Studies at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, Paris, and Director of the Centre de Sociologie Européenne
"This brilliant contextualization of social inquiry, hinging on both Aristotle and Foucault, gives new meaning
to the concept of praxis. It will be of interest to everyone concerned with making democracy work."
--Ed Soja, School of Public Policy, University of California, Los Angeles
Cambridge University Press Web Site, May, 2002
Making Social Science Matter presents an exciting new approach to social science, including theoretical argument, methodological guidelines, and examples of practical application. Why has social science failed in attempts to emulate natural science and produce normal theory? Bent Flyvbjerg argues that the strength of social science is in its rich, reflexive analysis of values and power, essential to the social and economic development of any society. Richly informed, powerfully argued, and clearly written, this book provides essential reading for all those in the social and behavioral sciences.
