Пълно описание

This book examines the structural failures embedded in contemporary social science, not as an indictment of scholarship but as an honest reckoning with systemic self-deception. Drawing on philosophy of science, institutional analysis, and decades of accumulated anomalies across sociology, psychology, economics, and anthropology, the work argues that modern knowledge production has developed sophisticated mechanisms for avoiding truths that threaten professional comfort, ideological consensus, or institutional legitimacy. The book proceeds from a simple observation: disciplines that claim to explain human behavior routinely fail to predict it, yet these failures rarely damage careers or force theoretical revision. This immunity from consequence is not accidental. It reflects deep structures of incentive, morality, and power that reward certain kinds of knowing while systematically suppressing others. The goal is neither cynicism nor nihilism, but what the author calls epistemic adulthood: the capacity to hold knowledge provisionally, to tolerate moral discomfort in pursuit of accuracy, and to recognize that understanding society requires first understanding how knowledge about society is made, unmade, and prevented from being made at all.
