The Reality Of Social Construction Dave Eldervass by Dave Elder-vass 9781107024373, 1107024374 instant download after payment.

'Social construction' is a central metaphor in contemporary social science, yet it is used and understood in widely divergent and indeed conflicting ways by different thinkers. Most commonly, it is seen as radically opposed to realist social theory. Dave Elder-Vass argues that social scientists should be both realists and social constructionists and that coherent versions of these ways of thinking are entirely compatible with each other. This book seeks to transform prevailing understandings of the relationship between realism and constructionism. It offers a thorough ontological analysis of the phenomena of language, discourse, culture and knowledge, and shows how this justifies a realist version of social constructionism. In doing so, however, it also develops an analysis of these phenomena that is significant in its own right.
An original contribution to a fundamental debate in social science: the relationship between realism and social constructionism.
Covers all the main aspects of the subject, including detailed analysis of the causal effects of language, culture and knowledge.
A significant contribution to the philosophy of social science as well as social theory.
