Perspectivism
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-40478-3 (ISBN)
Presenting four case studies – of the social scientific concepts of power, equality, crime, and sex and gender – Smith demonstrates the manner in which the perspectivist approach does not take all differing views of a concept to be equally good, but views all perspectives taken together as contributing towards the best that we can know about any given concept at the present time.
An exposition and analysis of the means by which perspectivism allows for truth and objectivity in the social sciences, this volume will appeal to scholars of philosophy and across the social sciences with interests in questions of epistemology and research methodology.
Kenneth Smith is the author of Emile Durkheim and the Collective Consciousness of Society: A Study in Criminology (2014) and Karl Marx's Capital: A Guide to Volumes I–III (second edition, 2021). He was formerly Professor of Sociology at Regent’s University, London and Reader in Criminology and Sociology at Buckinghamshire New University, UK.
