Usually, such  interactions are considered to go only `one way': from the natural to  the social sciences. But there are several important essays in this  volume which show how developments in the social sciences have  affected the natural sciences - even the `hard' science of physics.  Other essays deal with various types of interaction since the  Scientific Revolution.\u003cbr\u003e  In his general introductory chapter, Cohen sets some general themes  concerning analogies and homologies and the use of metaphors, drawing  specific examples from the use of concepts of physics by marginalist  economists and of developments in the life sciences by organismic  sociologists. The remaining chapters, which explore the different ways  in which the social sciences and the natural sciences have actually  interacted, are written by leaders in the field of history of science,  drawn from a wide range of countries and disciplines.\u003cbr\u003e  The book will be of great interest to all historians of science,  philosophers interested in questions of methodology, economists and  sociologists, and all social scientists concerned with the history of  their subject and its foundations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1993-11-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792322238\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-3391-5\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 404\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45378516680844,"sku":"9780792322238","price":197.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792322238.jpg?v=1771508943","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792322238","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
