Alasdair Macintyre, Charles Taylor, and the Demise of Naturalism: Reunifying Political Theory and Social Science Hardcover - 2016
by Jason Blakely
From the rear cover
"Jason Blakely skillfully uses the writings of Alasdair MacIntyre and Charles Taylor as his interpretive lens for observing how the naturalist /antinaturalist debate develops in the philosophy of the social sciences over the second half of the twentieth century. Blakely does this, moreover, with great clarity and economy. His book thus offers a philosophical and historical perspective on an important debate that is both intellectually substantive and highly readable." --Paul A. Roth, University of California-Santa Cruz "This book, containing many original contributions to the field, does an excellent job in identifying a real problem in mainstream political theory--its overly normative character and its separation from social science. I particularly liked the way in which the problems of naturalism are presented as institutional, cultural, and political as well as philosophical. The historical background to these problems is also interesting and sheds fresh light on the issues." --Nicholas Smith, Macquarie University "Although a number of other scholars have at least considered writing on this subject over the past decade and more, I am not aware of any book-length treatment of it or of any treatment that is so well informed or so well judged. Jason Blakely's account might well prove definitive." --Kelvin Knight, London Metropolitan University Jason Blakely is assistant professor of political science at Pepperdine University.
