La obra de Andrew Abbott está asociada al descubrimiento de al menos tres procesos estructurales, que conciernen a las profesiones, a las trayectorias laborales y a la evolución fractal de las declaraciones de las ciencias sociales. Esas estructuras se encuentran afectadas por la contingencia, por el hecho de que “el mundo es un mundo de eventos” que relativiza, construye y reconstruye dichos procesos. Para el arte de la guerra, el evento como expresión de la contingencia y el desarrollo de las teorías de manera fractal constituyen igualmente elementos centrales. Además, este arte comparte con Andrew Abbott la crítica a los defectos del pensamiento.Abstract: The work of Andrew Abbott is associated to the discovery of at least three structural processes dealing with professions, academic trajectories and the fractal evolution of social sciences declarations. These structures often result modified by contingencies, by the fact that “the world is a world of events”, which puts into perspective, build and rebuild theses processes. For the Art of the War, the event as an expression of the contingency and the fractal-like development of theories also constitute central elements. In addition, this art shares with Andrew Abbott the critic towards thinking flaws.Résumé : Le travail d’Andrew Abbott est associé à la découverte d’au moins trois processus structurels qui traitent des professions, des trajectoires académiques, et de l’évolution fractale des déclarations des sciences sociales. Ces structures se trouvent modifiées par la contingence, par le fait de que le monde est un « monde d’effets » qui relativise, construit et reconstruit ces processus. Pour l’Art de la guerre, l’événement en tant que expression de la contingence et le développement des théories de manière fractale constituent également des éléments centraux. De plus, cet art partage avec Andrew Abbot la critique vers les défauts de la pensée.

Geography, being one of the social studies, has a unique contribution, a particular point of view to bring to bear in understanding Society. Its specific Junction is to train future citizens to imagine the conditions of the great world stage and so help them to think sanely about political and social conditions in the world around. Geography is the only subject that deals directly and fully with the influence of the physical environment upon human action and life. The author stresses the point that History and Geography are equally important and need to be given the same amount of time in the curriculum. But History and Geography are note the same : both are different ways of interpreting facts. In stressing the distinction between History and Geography, the author wishes to improve the teaching of both History and Geography, but as different disciplines. Finally the author points out that Geography progresses in difficulty and sequence, like arithmetic, so that one year is a prerequisite of the geographical concepts to be introduced in the next year of study. Geography is more appealing and more real to children than many other social sciences and so more stimulating to intellectual effort.

Bernard Lahire ha desarrollado una trayectoria científico-social ejemplar, basada en el rigor científico y la investigación empírica, cada vez menos frecuente en nuestras universidades públicas.La Universidad Veracruzana entrega este año el Doctorado Honoris causa a Bernard Lahire. Esta distinción constituye un reconocimiento a quien mejor ha contribuido a la evolución de las ciencias sociales, y emprendido su defensa ante los que piensan que tales disciplinas no retornan a la sociedad el valor del capital invertido en ellas. La distinción es también un ejemplo de que es posible dialogar y establecer puentes de colaboración con pensadores e investigadores que, al margen de toda frontera, defienden a la sociología de las presiones políticas y ministeriales de cualquier parte del mundo. Bernard Lahire, Doctor Honoris CausaSummaryBernard Lahire has developed an exemplary scientific-social career, based on scientific rigor and empirical research, which has been less and less frequent in our public universities.The Universidad Veracruzana has awarded this year the Honorary Doctorate to Bernard Lahire. This distinction is an acknowledgement to those who have best contributed to the evolution of the social sciences, and undertaken their defense against those who think that such disciplines do not return to society the value of the capital invested in them. The distinction is also an example that it is possible to preserve a dialogue and establish bridges of collaboration with thinkers and researchers who, regardless of any border, shall defend sociology from political and ministerial pressures from anywhere in the world. Bernard Lahire, Docteur Honoris CausaRésuméBernard Lahire a développé une trajectoire scientifique-sociale exemplaire, basée dans la rigueur scientifique et la recherche empirique, chaque fois moins fréquente dans nos universités publiques.L’Universidad Veracruzana consacre cette année le Doctorat Honoris Causa à Bernard Lahire. Cette distinction constitue un prix à celui qui a le plus contribué à l’évolution des sciences sociales et qui a entrepris leur défense devant ceux qui pensent que ces disciplines ne rendent pas à la société la valeur du capital en elles investi. La distinction est aussi un exemple de la possibilité de discuter et d’établir des ponts de collaboration avec des penseurs et des chercheurs, qui en dépit de toute frontière, protègent la sociologie contre les pressions politiques et ministérielles de n’importe quelle partie du monde.

There is no question that contemporary western civilization has beendominant in the field of science since the Renaissance. Western scientificsuperiority is not limited to specific scientific disciplines, but is rather anovetall scientific domination covering both the so-called exact and thehuman-social sciences. Western science is the primary reference for specialistsin such ateas as physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, economics,psychology, and sociology. It is in this sense that Third World underdevelopmentis not only economic, social, and industrial; it also suffersfrom scientific-cultutal underdevelopment, or what we call "The OtherUnderdevelopment" (Dhaouadi 1988).The imptessive progress of western science since Newton and Descartesdoes not meari, however, that it has everything tight or perfect. Infact, its flaws ate becoming mote visible. In the last few decades, westernscience has begun to experience a shift from what is called classical scienceto new science. Classical science was associated with the celestialmechanics of Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, the new physics of Galileo,and the philosophy of Descartes. Descartes introduced a radical divisionbetween mind and matter, while Newton and his fellows presented a newscience that looked at the world as a kind of giant clock The laws of thisworld were time-reversible, for it was held that there was no differencebetween past and future. As the laws were deterministic, both the pastand the future could be predicted once the present was known.The vision of the emerging new science tends to heal the division betweenmatter and spirit and to do away with the mechanical dimension ...

The author considers the problems of typification of society. Some concepts of typification of social stratification models in different countries formulated and justified in historical and legal, historical, sociological, and economic scientific literature are reviewed. The circumstances that make it difficult to formulate universal concepts designed for application in the complex of social Sciences are identified. These circumstances include insufficient consideration of legal factors, including the position of the legislator, the specifics of the corporate legal status, and the characteristics of the mechanism for changing individual legal status. The author offers a variant of classification of society types from the point of view of legal registration of their structure. The possibility of distinguishing types such as consolidated companies and segmented companies is justified.

Dreyfus argues that there is a basic methodological difference between the natural sciences and the social sciences, a difference that derives from the different goals and practices of each. He goes on to argue that being a realist about natural entities is compatible with pluralism or, as he calls it, “plural realism.” If intelligibility is always grounded in our practices, Dreyfus points out, then there is no point of view from which one can ask about or provide an answer to the one true nature of ultimate reality. But that is consistent with believing that the natural sciences can still reveal the way the world is independent of our theories and practices.

The plethora of M. N. Srinivas’s articles and books covering a wide range of subjects from village studies to nation building, from dominant caste in Rampura village to nature and character of caste in independent India, and from prospects of sociological research in Gujarat to practicing social anthropology in India have largely influenced the understanding of society and culture for well over five decades. Additionally, he meticulously wrote itineraries, memoirs and personal notes that provide a glimpse of his inner being, influences, ideologies, thought all of which have inspired a large number of and social anthropologists and sociologists across the world. It is then only befitting to explore the major concerns in the life and intellectual thought of one whose pioneering contributions have been the milestones in the fields of social anthropology and sociology in a specific sense and of social sciences in India in a general sense. This article centres around/brings to light the academic concerns that Srinivas grappled with the new avenues of thought and insights that developed consequently, and the extent of his rendition their relevance in framing/understanding contemporary society and culture in India.

In the light of the increasing importance of the societal impact of research, this article attempts to address the question as to how social sciences and humanities (SSH) research outputs from 2019 are represented in Slovak research portfolios in comparison with those of the EU-28 and the world. The data used for the analysis originate from the R&D SK CRIS and bibliographic Central Register of Publication Activities (CREPČ) national databases, and WoS Core Collection/InCites. The research data were appropriate for the analysis at the time they were structured, on the national level; of high quality and consistency; and covering as many components as possible and in mutual relations. The data resources should enable the research outputs to be assigned to research categories. The analysis prompts the conclusion that social sciences and humanities research outputs in Slovakia in 2019 are appropriately represented and in general show an increasing trend. This can be documented by the proportion represented by the SSH research projects and other entities involved in the overall Slovak research outputs, and even the higher ratio of SSH research publications in comparison with the EU-28 and the world. Recommendations of a technical character include research data management, data quality, and the integration of individual systems and available analytical tools.

Abstract Plato’s invention of the metaphor of carving the world by the joints (Phaedrus 265d–66c) gives him a privileged place in the history of natural kind theory in philosophy and science; he is often understood to present a paradigmatic but antiquated view of natural kinds as possessing eternal, immutable, necessary essences. Yet, I highlight that, as a point of distinction from contemporary views about natural kinds, Plato subscribes to an intelligent-design, teleological framework, in which the natural world is the product of craft and, as a result, is structured such that it is good for it to be that way. In Plato’s Philebus, the character Socrates introduces a method of inquiry whose articulation of natural kinds enables it to confer expert knowledge, such as literacy. My paper contributes to an understanding of Plato’s view of natural kinds by interpreting this method in light of Plato’s teleological conception of nature. I argue that a human inquirer who uses the method identifies kinds with relational essences within a system causally related to the production of some unique craft-object, such as writing. As a result, I recast Plato’s place in the history of philosophy, including Plato’s view of the relation between the kinds according to the natural and social sciences. Whereas some are inclined to separate natural from social kinds, Plato holds the unique view that all naturalness is a social feature of kinds reflecting the role of intelligent agency.

Stock Of Knowledge

Despite differences in coloration Miller and Benson are birds of a feather. Although he is no Pollyanna, Miller believes that there has been a modest and decent series of advances in the social sciences and that the most conscientious, diligent, and intelligent researchers will continue to add to this stock of knowledge. Benson is much more pessimistic about the achievements of yesterday and today but, in turn, offers us the hope of a far brighter tomorrow. Miller explains Benson’s hyperbolic views about the past and future by distinguishing between pure and applied science and by pointing out Benson’s naivete about politics: the itch to understand the world is different from the one to make it better; and, Miller says, because Benson sees that we have not made things better, he should not assume we do not know more about them; Benson ought to realize, Miller adds, that the way politicians translate basic social knowledge into social policy need not bring about rational or desirable results. On the other side, Benson sees more clearly than Miller that the development of science has always been intimately intertwined with the control of the environment and the amelioration of the human estate.
