Misconceptions on the role of the social sciences. A reply

Description:

This contribution refers to the article of Leonard Bloom (vol 3 no 1,1988) entitled "Social science in Africa: problems and prospects". It is concerned with laying bear the pretensions of social scientists, arguing that social scientists cannot claim a privileged position with respect to practical skills, a special and separate body of scientific knowledge, or a clearly articulated role as social critic.
