In re Marsh Feldman's request for source material on methodology.
A provocative piece appeared a few years back in a favorite journal
of mine, to wit: "Marxism and Social Research: The Mythology of
Epistemology." Science & Society, Summer 1998 (52:2), 133-162. The
central idea is that social science research "findings" are akin to
fetishized commodities -- but argued much more elegantly in the
original.
Owing to an egregious editorial error, for which no one can take
the blame, I suppose, but myself, the word "Reality" appears in the
table of contents and cover, where "Mythology" should have been.
The title appears correctly on the title page of the article itself.
The result, no doubt, of an editorial virus (perhaps literally!).
Best to all,
