Ludwig von Mises
Ludwig Von Mises Inst
, 2003
Theory and History
EPISTEMOLOGICAL PROBLEMS IN ECONOMICS is a seminal work by Ludwig von Mises. Actually, the English translation of the title is somewhat misleading. This work (which is a collection of essays) deals not only with methodological issues but broader questions of economic ...
Communication Theory: Epistemological Foundations
James A. Anderson
The Guilford Press
, 1996
Cute guy, great data
Jim Anderson is one of the better thinkers writing about the study of communication. Like his books on media and the epistemological foundations of communication theory, this work is a classic in the field as much because of its fugue-like writing style as its ...
Missiological Implications of Epistemological Shifts (Christian Mission and Modern Culture)
Paul G. Hiebert
Continuum
, 1999
A pleasant Surprise
I enjoyed Hiebert's willingness to examine the epistemological underpinnings of Cultural Anthropology, and in turn reflect on how this might help mission work. It is rather refreshing to see a missionary, and anthropologist examine this subject. The book is a great ...

Evolutionary Systems: Biological and Epistemological Perspectives on Selection and Self-Organization
Springer
, 1998
To understand how complex dynamic systems, living or non-living, linguistic or non-linguistic, come to be organized as systems, to understand how their inherent dynamic nature gives rise to organisations and forms that have found a balance between potentiality for change and evolution on the one hand, and requisite stability in a given ...
The Politics of Method in the Human Sciences: Positivism and Its Epistemological Others (Politics, History, ...
Michael Burawoy
Duke University Press
, 2005
The Politics of Method in the Human Sciences provides a remarkable comparative assessment of the variations of positivism and alternative epistemologies in the contemporary human sciences. Often declared obsolete, positivism is alive and well in a number of the fields; in others, its influence is significantly diminished. The essays in this ...

David Byrne loves PowerPoint

Great Math and Great Design for Cooperative Work
This book is a treasure in my chest. I have a long shelf of project-books, activity-books and all the rest that I bought to add some spice to the day in math class. This is my "go to" book. I use it every year, repeatedly. I use it in my "accelerated" classes and I use ...

Hume's Naturalism and Logical Positivism: Epistemological Reliance upon Intuition
Andrew Winters
VDM Verlag
, 2008
New interpretations of Hume have brought to light new problems in the fields of metaphysics and epistemology. This is evident in the skeptic and empiricist interpretations of Hume that both Hume's contemporaries and the logical positivists have held. Logical positivists have used Hume's writing as a foundation for their criterion of meaningfulness ...

Advances in molecular biological research in the past forty years have made the story of the gene vastly complicated: the more we learn about genes, the less sure we are of what a gene really is. Knowledge about the structure and functioning of genes abounds, but the gene has also become curiously intangible. This collection of essays renews the ...
The Epistemological Foundations of Law
Isaak Dore
Carolina Academic Press
, 2007
Teacher, my brain is full
I may never climb Mt. Everest, but I lived through Jurisprudence and still graduated. Hallelujah. The nice thing about this book: it summarizes, usually in clearer terms, the excerpts it includes. The downside: I didn't realize this until halfway through the ...
