Essay Question: If a causalist, rather than a predictionist, view of science is adopted it is possible to recognise that social reality is open, dynamic and highly internally related and still maintain that an explanatorily powerful social science is entirely feasible. Discuss.Word limit: 1800 words (under no circumstances should it exceed 1850) In the essay introduction please do include definitions, an essay outline, context and thesis statement. The readings listed below should be included in the essay unless there is no way to access them. I have uploaded a pdf file with the one titled Is a law reasonable to a Hume? and to find the first one (Economics and Science), this link should work: https://issuu.com/thetransatlantic/docs/trnstlntc_issue001/8?ff If there is a need to use other resources to provide further information or evidence and examples, other sources can be used as long as the reference list foes not exceed 6-7 sources.When presenting arguments, counterarguments and rebuttals please do not present first all arguments followed by all of the counterarguments. The structure should be: Argument 1, counterargument 1, rebuttal 1; Argument 2, counterargument 2, rebuttal 2 .I have also attached the marking criteria and lecture notes (to make sure the answer is related to things covered in class). Critical thinking is something my university is constantly insisting that we show clearly in our essays so please do bear that in mind. Readings:1.
