This volume contains contributions from twenty-six world-renowned scholars who address different aspects of his ambitious research program as well as current trends in the institutionalization of the social and human sciences. The essays in this volume focus on such topics as: the role of the state; the reintegration of history and the social sciences; the importance of civilizational studies and the comparison of civilizations; the interaction of cultural and social dynamics; the analysis of trends in higher education and the institutionalization of social-scientific research.International Comparative Social Studies24.CivilizationCultureSocial sciencesPhilosophyState, TheCivilization.Culture.Social sciencesPhilosophy.State, The.300.1Joas Hans1948-123079Joas Hans1948-123079Klein Barbro Sklute1818671Wittrock Björn382146MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957058303321The benefit of broad horizons4377946UNINA
