The natural sciences are viewed as 'proper science' by journalists and policy-makers because they discover 'truths', make money, and help governments solve problems. In turn, defenders of the social sciences borrow the language of instrumentality, profit and policy impact. Karl Spracklen, by contrast, makes the moral case for the social sciences, arguing that they are a necessary social good capable of fighting inequality and revealing the workings of hegemonic power. 606 $aSociology 606 $aPhilosophy and social sciences 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aSocial sciences?Philosophy 606 $aSocial sciences 606 $aSociology, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000 606 $aPhilosophy of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E36000 606 $aSocial Structure, Social Inequality$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010 606 $aSocial Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22140 606 $aSocial Philosophy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E43000 606 $aMethodology of the Social Sciences$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X17000 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aPhilosophy and social sciences. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aSocial sciences?Philosophy. 615 0$aSocial sciences. 615 14$aSociology, general. 615 24$aPhilosophy of the Social Sciences. 615 24$aSocial Structure, Social Inequality. 615 24$aSocial Theory. 615 24$aSocial Philosophy. 615 24$aMethodology of the Social Sciences. 676 $a300 700 $aSpracklen$b K$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0972489 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910303433803321 996 $aMaking the Moral Case for Social Sciences$92522982 997 $aUNINA
