Cynthia Lins Hamlin persuasively argues that critical realism represents a better safeguard against the relativism which springs from the conflation of social reality and our ideas about it. This is an important book for sociologists and anyone working in the social sciences, and for all those concerned with the methodology, and philosophy, of Routledge studies in critical realism ;2.Social psychologySocial perceptionCultural relativismCognition and cultureSocial psychology.Social perception.Cultural relativism.Cognition and culture.302Hamlin Cynthia Lins1969-1757742MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910170994203321Beyond relativism4195692UNINA
