| Summary: | UC Berkeley political scientist Mark Bevir is an internationally acclaimed expert in the theory of governance. This in-depth conversation explores how attempts to shoehorn political science into a natural science framework commonly fail and how correctly appreciating what social science is and does has a direct bearing on our everyday social lives. By adopting the false belief that the social world is composed of some unchanging, fundamental entities on par with atoms or molecules--be they markets or classes or what have you--we will have no means of recognizing, or even describing, what happens when circumstances change and a new social dynamic is created. |
