More about the book
The book explores the evolving nature of social research, examining the shift from the traditional view of objective knowledge and value neutrality to the contemporary perspective that acknowledges the inherently political dimensions of research. It argues that assumptions and effects of research are influenced by values, challenging the notion of complete objectivity in social inquiry. This critical analysis invites readers to reconsider the implications of their research practices and the role of values in shaping knowledge.
