Excellent- More about Perspectivism: A Contribution to the Philosophy of the Social Sciences
Perspectivism is a philosophy of the social sciences that assesses competing views of a concept by approaching them as different 'sides of a multi-dimensional object. It demonstrates how all perspectives taken together contribute towards the best that we can know about any given concept at the present time, appealing to scholars of philosophy and the social sciences.

Perspectivism: A Contribution to the Philosophy of the Social Sciences delves into the concept of perspectivism, highlighting its ability to evaluate diverse perspectives on a particular concept by treating them as distinct facets of a multifaceted entity. Through the presentation of four case studies—examining the social scientific notions of power, equality, crime, and sex and gender—Smith illustrates how the perspectivist approach does not regard all differing viewpoints as equally valid, but rather views them collectively as contributing to our current understanding of a given concept.
This volume serves as an exposition and analysis of the mechanisms through which perspectivism enables truth and objectivity within the social sciences. It will appeal to scholars of philosophy and various social science disciplines who are interested in epistemological and research methodology issues.
