Description
This is Volume XXI of twenty-two in a series on Social Theory and Methodology. First published in 1958, this is a selection of essays on practical methodology when trying to answer the question of what are the new presuppositions of social thought which can do justice to the changes in social organisation. Mydral attempts to illustrate his repeated attempts to explore the logical, political and moral foundations of social thought and action, as he pursued diverse academic and political activities.
