Description
Engaging the work of thinkers such as Rorty, Taylor, Bourdieu, Bhaskar, and Arendt, and literature in political science and history and philosophy of science, Topper proposes a pluralist, normative, and broadly pragmatist conception of political inquiry, one alive to the notorious vagaries, idiosyncrasies, and uncertainties of political life.
