The Social Sciences of Quantification From Politics of Large Numbers to Target-Driven Policies
Logic, Argumentation & Reasoning Interdisciplinary Perspectives from the Humanities and Social Sciences Volume 13
Series editor Shahid Rahman
Logic, Argumentation & Reasoning explores the links between Humanities and the Social Sciences, with theories including, decision and action theory as well as cognitive sciences, economy, sociology, law, logic, and philosophy of sciences. It’s two main ambitions are to develop a theoretical framework that will encourage and enable interaction between disciplines as well as to federate the Humanities and Social Sciences around their main contributions to public life: using informed debate, lucid decision-making and action based on reflection. The series welcomes research from the analytic and continental traditions, putting emphasis on four main focus areas: • • • •
Argumentation models and studies Communication, language and techniques of argumentation Reception of arguments, persuasion and the impact of power Diachronic transformations of argumentative practices
