About this book
Reviews
“Comparativity in social sciences is akin to physical exercises: most scholars lament the lack of it – and do nothing about that. The authors of this book made a perfect job of producing a truly comparative history of social sciences, including both a wide range of national cases, from Argentina to Hungary, and an extensive spectrum of disciplines. This book discovers for social scientists how rich and diverse are the legacies of their intellectual enterprise.” (Mikhail Sokolov, European University at St. Petersburg, Russia)
