“Interpretive Social Science: A Reader” (1st Edition), edited by Paul Rabinow and William M. Sullivan, is a foundational text in the field of interpretive social science. This collection of essays explores the methodological and theoretical approaches that emphasize the role of interpretation in understanding human social behavior.

The book challenges the positivist traditions of the social sciences, arguing that human behavior cannot be fully understood through purely objective or empirical methods. Instead, it highlights the importance of meaning, context, and cultural interpretation. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives, it incorporates insights from anthropology, philosophy, sociology, and history.

Notable contributors include scholars such as Clifford Geertz, Charles Taylor, and Jürgen Habermas, whose works in this volume delve into topics like the interpretation of cultures, the ethical dimensions of social inquiry, and the role of narrative in human understanding.

The reader is intended for students and scholars seeking to understand the philosophical foundations and practical implications of interpretive methods in the social sciences. Its influence extends across fields, offering valuable insights into the complexities of human behavior and the interpretive nature of social reality.
