Abstract
Kei Yoshida's recent book Philosophy of the Social Sciences: An Introduction is the first introductory textbook on the philosophy of the social sciences written in Japanese. It concisely expounds on a wide range of topics in the discipline, while its explication of those topics is not impartial or neutral as the author himself says. This paper gives a critical review of the book. The first half of it briefly overviews and assesses the book as a whole. The latter half of the paper reconstructs the gist of the author's exposition of the naturalism/interpretivism debate and criticizes it.
吉田圭(Kei Yoshida)最近出版的《社会科学哲学导论》(Philosophy of the Social Sciences: An Introduction)是第一本用日语撰写的社会科学哲学入门教科书。它简明地阐述了该学科的广泛主题,而它对这些主题的解释并不像作者自己所说的那样公正或中立。这篇论文对这本书作了批评性的评论。它的前半部分简要地概述和评价了整本书。文章的后半部分重构了作者论述自然主义与解释主义之争的主旨,并对其进行了批判。
