  1. The crisis of modern society: Richard Titmuss and Emile Durkheim.John Stewart - 2024 - History of the Human Sciences 37 (1):47-71.
    This article examines the influence of Emile Durkheim's sociology on Richard Titmuss, founder of the academic field of social policy. While operating in different environments and historical eras, they shared concerns about modernity's impact on contemporary societies, heightened by their experiences of living in periods of considerable political and socio-economic upheaval. Their social thought embraced crucial complementarities, and understanding these adds a previously under-explored dimension to Titmuss's influential analyses of Britain's post-war ‘welfare state’.

Although philosophers of science have much to offer scientists and the public, I am skeptical that much can be gained by philosophers importing off-the-shelf discussions from philosophy of science to science and society. Such efforts will likely look (...)

  • Reflexive Prediction: A Literature Review.Lauchlan Mackinnon - 2005 - In The Social Construction of Economic Man: The Genesis, Spread, Impact and Institutionalisation of Economic Ideas. The University of Queensland.
    The present work is a review of the early literature on "reflexive prediction" - the notion that public predictions by policymakers may influence and affect the social systems the predictions are made in relation to - in the disciplines of sociology and economics. It is a relatively complete treatment for the time period that it covers. It is intended for attachment to my January 2006 doctoral thesis as "Appendix B.".
