 | Generative Social Science: |
ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS: "Epstein is a central and outstandingly creative figure in the emerging social science literature developed through agent-based simulation studies. Epstein offers an undogmatic, balanced account of his project and methods and shows in what specific ways they can open up whole broad questions that are simply unapproachable with traditional methods. The chapters address a stunningly wide range of problems, and each chapter has a distinctive and stimulating contribution to make."--Duncan K. Foley, New School for Social Research "Generative Social Science is an important book that should be read by all who have a serious interest in the social sciences."--Peter Hedström, University of Oxford "The contents are important, and until now have appeared in scattered and sometimes obscure places. The new commentary that the author has added ties these together in a coherent whole illustrating this new approach to the social sciences."--Brian Skyrms, University of California, Irvine "This book is leading what is likely to be an increasingly important line of thought. The central argument and its illustrative applications present conceptual and methodological innovations that clearly have enormous potential. The writing is concise, accurate, balanced, and entertaining. Readers will be broadened, challenged, provoked, and inspired."--John Steinbruner, University of Maryland File created: 8/21/2008 | |
