This book marks a watershed in the social sciences.

The book presents a comprehensive historical and philosophical analysis, focusing on alternatives to positivist and empiricist views in the physical sciences. It redefines the debate between naturalism and anti-naturalism within the social sciences, utilizing recent materialist and realist philosophies.
