Labourers, rationality and survival
Miles Fairburn, Nearly Out of Heart and Hope: The Puzzle of a Colonial Labourer's Diary (I995), x + 275 (Auckland University Press, Auckland, paperback $39.95). James Cox (1846-1925) was a migrant who left England for New Zealand in I880. He was not entirely unnoticed in his lifetime.

“Vico’s New Science and New Zealand History.” In The Certainty of Doubt: Tributes to Peter Munz
Vico on the relationship between knowledge and practice
Vico on the Production and Assessment of Knowledge
What roles do the faculties play in cognition? And what method(s) can be employed to acquire knowledge of that which is?

For Berlin, the Science is far from an obscu…
Ideology and Cultural Production
Values, Analysis and the Study of Revolution: Ii
This second and concluding part of the paper deals with a third problem area; the relationship between values and explanation. It is discussed by examining Myrdal's distinctions between valuations and value premises and between theoretical and practical research; Stretton's conception of the role of the 'valuing skill' in all kinds of socio-historical research; and MacIntyre's arguments concerning categories and accounts that combine either evalu…
Values, Analysis and the Study of Revolution: I
In two consecutive issues of Sociology an analysis is offered of the relationship between values and analysis. By analysis is meant three fundamental stages and characteristics of socio-historical research, viz., identification, description and explanation. In examining these analytical stages and characteristics different expressions for the dimensions of values are elucidated and the various possibilities for the intrusion of values are discuss…
