Download or read book Hermeneutics and Social Science Routledge Revivals written by Zygmunt Bauman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-03-23 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1978, this important work, by one of the leading European social theorists, is arguably the best introduction to the hermeneutic tradition as a whole. It is designed to help students of sociology and philosophy place the problems of "understanding social science" in their historical and philosophical context. It does so by presenting the major current in sociological thought as responses to the challenge of hermeneutics. The idea that true knowledge of social life can be attained only if human conduct is seen as meaningful action whose meaning is accordingly grasped has been presented as a discovery of recent sociology. In fact its history is long and its connections plentiful, reaching beyond the boundaries of sociology itself. Yet it is in sociology that the hermeneutic tradition has attracted most interest but most misinterpretation. The debate is in full swing and there is no attempt to offer "correct" solutions - the emphasis instead is upon revealing the strengths and weaknesses of each of the main approaches. However it is Bauman's view that the theory of understanding may achieve valid results only if it treats the problem of understanding as an aspect of the ongoing process of social life.

This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 638 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hermeneutic philosophies of social science offer an approach to the philosophy of social science foregrounding the human subject and including attention to history as well as a methodological reflection on the notion of reflection, including the intrusions of distortions and prejudice. Hermeneutic philosophies of social science offer an explicit orientation to and concern with the subject of the human and social sciences. Hermeneutic philosophies of the social science represented in the present collection of essays draw inspiration from Gadamer’s work as well as from Paul Ricoeur in addition to Michel de Certeau and Michel Foucault among others. Special attention is given to Wilhelm Dilthey in addition to the broader phenomenological traditions of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger as well as the history of philosophy in Plato and Descartes. The volume is indispensible reading for students and scholars interested in epistemology, philosophy of science, social social studies of knowledge as well as social studies of technology.

Download or read book Hermeneutics as Critique written by Lorenzo C. Simpson and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hermeneutics has frequently been dismissed as useful only for literary and textual analysis. Some consider it to be Eurocentric or inherently relativistic and thus unsuited to social critique. Lorenzo C. Simpson offers a persuasive and powerful argument that hermeneutics is a valuable tool not only for critical theory but also for robustly addressing many of the urgent issues of today. Simpson demonstrates that hermeneutics exhibits significant interpretive advantages compared to competing explanatory modalities. While it shares with pragmatism a suspicion of essentialism, an understanding that disagreements are situated, and an insistence on the dialogical nature of understanding, it nevertheless resolutely rejects the relativistic accounts of rationality that are often associated with pragmatism. In the tradition of Gadamer, Simpson firmly establishes hermeneutics as a resource for both philosophy and the social sciences. He shows its utility for unpacking intractable issues in the philosophy of science, multiculturalism, social epistemology, and racial and social justice in the global arena. Simpson addresses fraught questions such as why recent claims that “race” has a biological basis lack grounding, whether female genital excision can be critically addressed without invidious ethnocentrism, and how to lay the foundations for meaningful cross-cultural dialogue and reparative justice. This book reveals how hermeneutics can be a worthy partner with critical theory in achieving emancipatory aims.

This book was released on 2022-03-25 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction Human beings are the most unique social beings on earth, living interdependently, on account of their bio-social necessity, for collective and individual survival. Social Sciences study the activities of human beings in the society at both individual as well as corporate level for collective existence, to identify the social problems and make attempts to provide solutions to these problems, for a smooth survival of the society. The present era is the era of crises where the society faces complex problems and it has become difficult even for social scientists to isolate and address a real social problem. The social scientists are not clear about the central problems which their respective disciplines are facing and which they could address. With the development of science and technology on rational and empirical bases in the West, social scientists also tried to build the Social Sciences on the same bases. But there were certain questions which could not be answered by using the reason and empirical methodology only but have the solution in religious scriptures or revealed knowledge or tradition. Both Islam and west have their own methodology and philosophy to provide solutions to these problems. Muslim scholars laid the foundation of systematic experimentations and observations, in both natural and Social Sciences in medieval period, before the 'renaissance period of west', 1 inspired by the teachings of Qur'ān, insisting human beings for achieving scientific knowledge through observations and experiments: (Allah) Most Gracious! It is He Who has taught the Qur ́an. He has created man: He has taught him speech (and intelligence).2 And He has subjected to you, as from Him, all that is in the heavens and on earth: Behold, in that are Signs indeed for those who reflect.3 There are many other verses in the Qur'ān which insisted human beings of acquiring scientific knowledge which led Muslims to develop the physical sciences as well as Social Sciences. The basis of Social Sciences for Muslims is Qur'ān and the Sunnah of Prophet Muḥammad ( ), from which all rules are extracted, and are more relevant and justifiable due to their divine origin. With the dominance of west in 18th and 19th centuries, Muslim lands were colonised and lost the opportunity to practise their own systems. These western developed systems produced chaos in both Muslim and Non,

Download or read book Islam s Quantum Question written by Nidhal Guessoum and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2010-10-30 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In secular Europe the veracity of modern science is almost always taken for granted. Whether they think of the evolutionary proofs of Darwin or of spectacular investigation into the boundaries of physics conducted by CERN's Large Hadron Collider, most people assume that scientific enquiry goes to the heart of fundamental truths about the universe. Yet elsewhere, science is under siege. In the USA, Christian fundamentalists contest whether evolution should be taught in schools at all. And in Muslim countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Pakistan and Malaysia, a mere 15 per cent of those recently surveyed believed Darwin's theory to be 'true' or 'probably true'. This thoughtful and passionately argued book contends absolutely to the contrary: not only that evolutionary theory does not contradict core Muslim beliefs, but that many scholars, from Islam's golden age to the present, adopted a worldview that accepted evolution as a given. Guessoum suggests that the Islamic world, just like the Christian, needs to take scientific questions - 'quantum questions' - with the utmost seriousness if it is to recover its true heritage and integrity. In its application of a specifically Muslim perspective to important topics like cosmology, divine action and evolution, the book makes a vital contribution to debate in the disputed field of 'science and religion'.
