Features: This book is part of a comprehensive research report titled "Major Trends in the Development of Human and Social Sciences," published by UNESCO in 1970. It is permeated with epistemological reflections, on the one hand aiming to identify the distinctive characteristics of the special epistemology shared by various human sciences; on the other hand, the author attempts to understand these human sciences through his "genetic structuralism" perspective. The book consists of three chapters, which can be seen as a whole, although they are separately the preface, Chapter 3, and Chapter 7 of the comprehensive research report titled "Major Trends in the Development of Human and Social Sciences" published by UNESCO in 1970. They form a cohesive unit because each chapter is primarily epistemological in nature.
