Marxism and Philosophy by Karl Korsch (1923) We are not concerned here with the social history of the working-class as a whole, but only with the internal development of Marxist theory in its relation to the general class history of the proletariat. But they did not mean by this that scientific socialism or communism were primarily ‘philosophies’.They rather saw the task of their ‘scientific socialism’ as that of definitively overcoming and superseding the form and content, not only of all previous bourgeois idealist philosophy, but thereby of philosophy altogether. The major weakness of vulgar socialism is that, in Marxist terms, it clings quite ‘unscientifically’ to a naive realism – in which both so-called common sense, which is the ‘worst metaphysician’, and the normal positivist science of bourgeois society, draw a sharp line of division between consciousness and its object. www.marxists.org /archive/korsch/1923/marxism-philosophy.htm   (118 words)

Philosophy of Social Science [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] Behaviorism in psychology and the social sciences is but one attempt to develop a science of human beings in the sense of 'science' appropriate to physics etc. Many have come to view it as a failure (for the kinds of reasons just mentioned and other reasons as well). Thus social science (including anthropology, social psychology, history) could be "scientific." We must simply avoid explanation at the individual level, since explanations of individual actions might still get mired in the kinds of problems afflicting FL and BL. Reductionism is of interest in thinking about the possibility of reducing various social sciences to such sciences as biology or chemistry or physics, thereby guaranteeing the scientific status of the former. www.utm.edu /research/iep/s/socscien.htm   (10980 words)

Redefining the Good Life: a New Focus in the Social Sciences Keyes found that quality of life and social well-being consisted of more than "the absence of anomie and alienation." People also need to feel that they fit in, that what they do is valued, and that the world is improving for people like them, he says. This week in the Cayman Islands, they will join a small group of eminent social scientists to develop a "taxonomy" of the good life. He says sociologists have long assumed that "the essence of the world is revealed to us when things go wrong." His colleagues study societal disorders much as psychologists study mental ones, he says, and attempts by sociologists in the 1970s to measure social well-being petered out. www.apa.org /ed/goodlife.html   (789 words)
