Summary:

'An eloquent and exquisitely reasoned plea for a social science based on what is distinctively human about human beings their capacity to create meaning by the forms of interpretation that make human culture possible. This book is a lively attack on the growing antihumanism of so much contemporary social science, and it deserves a wide audience.' Jerome Bruner, New York University
