Compassionate Activism : An Exploration of Integral Social Care
What is it to care for another human being? How do we show compassion for each other? Is 'social care' an activity only for paid professionals?This book sets out on a radical re-examination of the nature of social care, the way it is practised, and its purpose.Rather than being confined to a qualified cohort of designated carers, social care is an activity for all.It is the gateway to the humanization of both care-giver and care-receiver.Yet the process of humanization, in order to be effective, needs to encompass both the personal and political worlds.The resultant integral social care can be re-imagined as compassionate activism. The scope of the book ranges from the practical to the theoretical.It assesses the specific skills needed in providing social care; it examines social care theory and practice; and it extends its investigation as far as the dysfunctions in the current political and economic system.The book proposes a 'dialogic practice' as an effective method of achieving personal and social transformation, one which is available to professional practitioners and others alike.The value and process of dialogue affirms that our humanity is primarily characterized by care and compassion rather than individual self-interest.

Social Knowledge : An Essay on the Nature and Limits of Social Science
How is scientific knowledge of social life possible?If there are social sciences, must they employ methods different from those of the natural sciences?In Social Knowledge, Paul Mattick argues that the well-known difficulties of the social sciences -- in particular the predictive and explanatory failures of economics -- are due not to an inherent resistance of social life to scientific explanation, but to the failure of social scientists to include their own categories of social explanation among the objects of scientific study. Looking at Marx as an anthropological theorist, Mattick compares his critique of political economy with Evans-Pritchard 's analysis of Azande witchcraft.Just as the British anthropologist attempted to explain Azande ideas and rituals in terms of their place in native life, Marx wished to explain the continued faith in economics -- despite its striking weakness as a science -- in terms of the central role played by this system of ideas in the daily lives of natives of capitalist society.This comparison leads to the questions about the nature of scientific thinking and its relation to our everyday knowledge of social reality that are the subject of this book. Second edition, with a new Preface by the author. The first edition was published in 1986 by Hutchinson, ISBN 9780091654603.

Methods of Discovery : Heuristics for the Social Sciences
Abbott helps social science students discover what questions to ask.This exciting book is not about habits and the mechanics of doing social science research, but about habits of thinking that enable students to use those mechanics in new ways, by coming up with new ideas and combining them more effectively with old ones. Abbott organizes his book around general methodological moves, and uses examples from throughout the social sciences to show how these moves can open new lines of thinking.In each chapter, he covers several moves and their reverses (if these exist), discussing particular examples of the move as well as its logical and theoretical structure.Often he goes on to propose applications of the move in a wide variety of empirical settings.The basic aim of Methods of Discovery is to offer readers a new way of thinking about directions for their research and new ways to imagine information relevant to their research problems. Methods of Discovery is part of the Contemporary Societies series.
