Description: "Most social scientists and philosophers claim that sociology and philosophy are disjoint fields of inquiry. Some have wondered how to trace the precise boundary between them. Mario Bunge argues the two fields are so entangled with one another that no demarcation is possible or, indeed, desirable. In fact, sociological research has demonstrably philosophical pre-suppositions.

In turn, some findings of sociology are bounds to correct or enrich the philosophical theories that deal with the world, our knowledge of it, or the ways of acting upon it."--BOOK JACKET.
