8The Idea of Philosophy and Its Relation to Social SciencePhilosophy of the Social Sciences 44 (2): 151-178. 2014.This article takes up Winch’s exploration of a certain dialectic in philosophical accounts of social inquiry, the poles of which I refer to as the under-laborer and over-laborer conceptions of philosophy. I argue that these conceptions, shown in Risjord and Reed, respectively, are caught in a dialectic of treating philosophy’s roles as either modestly clarifying or broadly determining the claims of social science. A third conception of philosophy, the therapeutic conception, is exemplified by Re…Read more

Even as democratic experimentalists have successfully explored democracy beyond the state in th…Read more

7On the Reliability of Science: The Critical Rationalist Version (review)Philosophy of the Social Sciences 43 (1): 100-115. 2013.Error and Inference discusses Deborah Mayo’s theory that connects the reliability of science to scientific evidence. She sees it as an essential supplement to the negative principles of critical rationalism. She and Aris Spanos, her co-editor, declare that the discussions in the book amount to tremendous progress. Yet most contributors to the book misconstrue the Socratic character of critical rationalism because they ignore a principal tenet: criticism in and of itself comprises progress, and e…Read more

1Language and Social Criticism: On the Philosophical Foundations of Normative Social InquiryDissertation, Boston University. 1985.The social critic must be able to supply participants with truthful insights into their practices, particularly with regard to the representation and constitution of these practices in speaking and acting. Marx offers one form of such criticism in the critique of ideology and lays its foundations in a general theory of linguistic representation; the particular theory he employs must be criticized, but this methodology should not abandoned. His error was to restrict the function of language to me…Read more
