Social Imaginary and the Metaphysical Discourse (eBook, ePUB)

On the Fundamental Predicament of Contemporary Philosophy and Social Sciences

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Developing the notion of the 'social imaginary' in order to move away from relativistic and 'objectivist' notions of truth, this book points to an extra-linguistic level in our cognition, thus exploring the interrelations that exist between the imagineries by which we organise our experience and scientific understanding of the world.
