Alexander Rosenberg Books

Exploring the role of economic theory, the book argues for its value beyond mere prediction, positioning it as a vital instrument for social engineering. It delves into the intricacies of economic principles and their application in shaping societal outcomes, emphasizing their importance in addressing complex social issues. The author provides insights into the theoretical foundations while critiquing the limitations of economics as a predictive science, advocating for its practical utility in guiding social progress.

This is an expanded and thoroughly revised edition of the widely adopted introduction to the philosophical foundations of the human sciences. Ranging from cultural anthropology to mathematical economics, Alexander Rosenberg leads the reader through behaviorism, naturalism, interpretativism about human action, and macrosocial scientific perspectives, illuminating the motivation and strategy of each. Rewritten throughout to increase accessibility, this new edition retains the remarkable achievement of revealing the social sciences' enduring relation to the fundamental problems of philosophy. It includes new discussions of positivism, European philosophy of history, causation, statistical laws, quantitative models, and postempiricist social science, along with a completely updated literature guide that keys chapters to widely anthologized papers.

The book offers a comprehensive exploration of the philosophy of science, focusing on its nature, methodologies, and justifications. With updated insights, it addresses key questions and challenges in the field, making it an essential resource for students seeking a deeper understanding of scientific principles and practices. Through rigorous analysis, it encourages critical thinking about the foundations of scientific inquiry and its implications for knowledge and reality.

V roku 1935 prichádza Rita Feuerstahlová na univerzitu do Krakova,kde plánuje študovať a užívať si život. No osud má s ňou úplne iné plány: manželstvo, milostný pomer, dieťa- to všetko tesne pred začiatkom druhej svetovej vojny. Po vypuknutí vojny židovsku Ritu presídlia do geta,kde sa každodennosť mení na sústavný boj o prežitie. Napokon utečie a získa falošné doklady,no nemá žiadne správy o svojom odvedenom synovi,a tak stráca chuť žiť. Jej život medzi Nemcami je čoraz ohrozenejší a Rita sa môže stať jednou z ich posledných obetí. Odolá jej túžba nájsť syna aj tomu najväčšiemu zlu, aké kedy Európa videla? Epická sága vás prenesie do Paríža tridsiatich rokov,do Španielska v období občianskej vojny,ako aj do Moskvy, Varšavy,a napokon do samotného srdca nacistického Nemecka,kde sa jedna žena a jej dvaja muži- manžel a milenec- ocitajú v boji,v ktorom celé národy balansujú na pokraji skazy.
