The contributions selected address fundamental epistemological and methodological problems in social science, deal with the history of ideas which form the background of current theoretical dispute, discuss fundamental issues pertaining to the theory of social order and the development of social institutions, and examine the potential and the limits of the deliberate control of economic and social conditions.
