Book Description
Humans form theories and general laws that can be applied to common social experience. This is balanced by a will to define events and conditions particular to specific times, places, and individuals. Dennis H. Wrong argues that the scientific standard of universal laws and propositions has only limited relevance to human historical phenomena.
