Philosophy of Social Science


Recommended Posts

I am looking to gather graduate-level syllabi on Philosophy of Social Science courses. Primarily I am interested in the content of the courses, readings that were assigned, and the structure of the course.

If you have taken such a course or if your program has such a course and you don't mind sending me the syllabus that would be great. (Please feel free to PM me.) I have been doing some web searching, but I keep on running across undergraduate courses which isn't very helpful.

Do you mean stuff like pure empiricism, pure skepticism, relativism, falsificationism, etc.?

It might not be relevant to you since you're not in marketing, but here's an address by the former Association for Consumer Research president, Alice Tybout, about theory development and implementation in marketing and consumer behavior: http://www.acrwebsite.org/volumes/display.asp?id=7659

Here's a forthcoming article about the criticisms of a hypothetico-deductive approach to theory testing by Joe Alba: http://www.jstor.org/stable/info/10.1086/661230

Both cite many relevant non-discipline-specific sources, so be sure to look at the reference sections.
