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.
