About the Author:
Review:
Andrew Sayer is Professor of Social Theory and Political Economy at Lancaster University. He has a longstanding interest in philosophical issues relating to social science, but has always combined this with research on substantive issues – primarily to do with political economy and inequality. Other publications include The New Social Division of Labor, with R.A. Walker (Blackwell, 1992); Realism and Social Science (Sage, 2000); and The Moral Significance of Class (Cambridge University Press, 2005).
'A thoroughly absorbing and at times quite stunning book.' - Sociological Review
'A challenging, illuminating, clearly written and very useful contribution to the literature.' - Sociology
'Sayer's book is refreshing in that it is written in plain English while tackling some major problems of explanation in social science in a rigorous fashion ... it would be eminently suitable reading for a seminar course in methodology.' - Geography
'...unconditionally recommended for geographers...This is the most sophisticated and well developed book on geographic method to appear in years. Sayer seeks nothing less than a complete overhaul of discourse in the social sciences.' - Annals of the Association of American Geographers
