Product Description
To what extent do the social sciences influence as well as measure the shifts in contemporary Irish culture? Can conceptual measurements issues be value free? Can a Christian ethic inform the work of the social sciences? Do the social sciences have a role in facilitating society to discern issues surrounding values and beliefs? Is there scope for a religious assessment of the issues studied by the social sciences?
Measuring Discerning Values and Beliefs emerges from a symposium organized to explore these issues. Part one , Measuring Discerning the Religious Profile of Irish Society , comprises essays that measure religious values and beliefs in contemporary Ireland. Part two , Measuring Discerning the Ethical World of the Social Sciences , reflects upon the presuppositions of the social sciences, the value judgments that social scientists bring to bear upon their work, and some methodical issues that arise from qualitative research.Including contributions from Tony Fahey, Conor K.

Cassidy, Measuring Discerning Values and Beliefs is published in conjunction with the Irish Centre for Faith and Culture.
