Astonishingly there exists no singl

Astonishingly there exists no single English language book dedicated to
the continental tradition in the philosophy of social science. Juxtapose
this surprising position with the abundance of continental works on all
other aspects of European thought from the vast array of tracts on political
philosophy, aesthetics and the history of European ideas to the plethora
of studies of individual thinkers and schools of thought. Contrast, too,
this lack of a treatment of continental philosophy of social science with
the abundance of expositions of the same subject matter in the Anglo-
American tradition.
In fact, the entire mainstream corpus of philosophy of social science
is dominated by Anglo-American literature. Consequently these transatlantic
schools set the agenda for pretty much all philosophy of social science
with their own particular approach to the subject matter – a distinct
canon of thinkers, set of questions and debates. The continental domain
is simply marginalized by this rubric: either through sheer exclusion or,
indeed, by a reductive mode of inclusion.
