Can a crisis of this deep-rooted and extremely wide-ranging nature be delimitated to a few specific areas? Can the social sciences diverse dilemmas be reduced to the feature of crisis alone?\u003cbr\u003e This book argues that the social sciences are in a deep state of crisis. Kl�ber Ghimire analyzes how some of the basic problems began from the very inception: uncritical use of empiricism and experimentation methods emulating the natural sciences, internal fragmentation of knowledge along narrow disciplinary lines, and near-exclusive emphasis on the experience of industrial societies. As these difficulties persist, more recent evolutions have brought additional troubles. With a focus on Europe, North America and Asia, Kl�ber Ghimire examines the effects of university reforms that give prominence to expertise-oriented research, economic rationality and occupational skill development, leading to a widespread marginalisation of the social and human studies. \u003cbr\u003e The book ends with a call to reflect upon opening a new horizon for these fields of learning, especially by inventing a new era of social sciences pedagogy, leaving natural sciences for humanities and recognizing the value of culture as a crucial reservoir of social knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Emerald Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47813228986519,"sku":"9781801170420","price":10573.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781801170420.webp?v=1778334494","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/social-sciences-a-dying-fire-9781801170420","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
