Wallerstein, Immanuel
Social Science and Contemporary Society: The Vanishing Guarantees of Rationality
«Explores how social science & social scientists can respond to the limits posed by liberalism & capitalism. It is argued that the promises of social amelioration & justice on which social science & modernity were based have proven unfulfillable. Social science should return substantive rationality to the center of its intellectual pursuits. A substantive rationality is defined as being essentially one of amoral politics that addresses collective welfare & freedom».
