It distinguishes six explanatory or intelligibility schemes found in modern social sciences: actantial, functional, hermeneutic, structural, dialectic, and causal schemes. The Brief deals with each explanatory scheme in a separate chapter, each being structured into two parts: three examples of scholarly works applying a given scheme and discussion of the characteristics of the given scheme. The last chapter proposes a synthesis. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2026-06-09\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783032227546\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 105\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Presses de l’Université Laval","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46412102107276,"sku":"9783032227546","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783032227546.jpg?v=1779051940","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783032227546","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
