Böcker av Abraham Kaplan

The greatest accomplishment of Western civilization is arguably the achievement of individual liberty through limits on the power of the state

In arguably the finest text ever written in the philosophy of social science, Abraham Kaplan emphasizes what unites the behavioral sciences more than what distinguishes them from one another

Central to this volume are the views of Ludwig von Mises on war and foreign policy. Mises argues that war, along with colonialism and imperialism, is the greatest enemy of freedom and prosperity, and that peace cannot be achieved until major nations become limited in scope and power.

In this text, Abraham Kaplan emphasizes what unites the behavioural sciences, more than what distinguishes them from one another. This is not a formal exercise in the philosophy of science, but rather a critical assessment of the developing standards and strategies of contemporary social inquiry.
