Series Editor’s Introduction

I am pleased to present this special volume of Political Power and Social Theory, Critical Realism, History, and Philosophy in the Social Sciences. The chapters come from the “Symposium on the history and philosophy of social science” held at the University of Michigan, USA, and organized by George Steinmetz. I’m delighted to see them in print here. Thanks to the co-editors, Timothy Rutzou and George Steinmetz, for choosing PPST to publish the chapters and to the authors for their contributions.
