  • Psychoanalysis in Social Research

    Shifting theories and reframing concepts

    by Claudia Lapping ...

    This major study develops a new account of modernity and its relation to the self.

  • Why Things Matter to People

    Social Science, Values and Ethical Life

    by Andrew Sayer ...
    Andrew Sayer undertakes a fundamental critique of social science's difficulties in acknowledging that people's relation to the world is one of concern. As sentient beings, capable of flourishing and suffering, and particularly vulnerable to how others treat us, our view of the world is substantially evaluative. Yet modernist ways of thinking encourage the common but extraordinary belief that ... Read more
