encycloPedia of PhiloSoPhy and the Social ScienceS
Byron Kaldis, Hellenic Open University, Greece
This encyclopedia is the fi rst of its kind in bringing together philosophy and the social sciences. It is not only about the
philosophy of the social sciences but, going beyond that, it is also about the relationship between philosophy and the
social sciences. The subject of this encyclopedia is purposefully multi- and inter-disciplinary. Knowledge boundaries are
both delineated and crossed over. The goal is to convey a clear sense of how philosophy looks at the social sciences
and to mark out a detailed picture of how the two are interrelated: interwoven at certain times but also differentiated
and contrasted at others. The Entries cover topics of central signifi cance but also those that are both controversial and
on the cutting-edge, underlining the unique mark of this Encyclopedia: the interrelationship between philosophy and
the social sciences, especially as it is found in fresh ideas and unprecedented hybrid disciplinary areas.

grouP ProceSSeS four-volume Set
Craig D. Parks, Washington State University
Issues related to group-based and group-infl uenced behavior have always been at the heart of social psychology. What is
generally considered the fi rst experimental study in social psychology—Norman Triplett's 1898 attempt to explain why bicycling
speed records were faster when measured in competition against others—was a demonstration of group-infl uenced behavior,
and led to the development of the notion of social facilitation. The questions of how decision-making group members reach
consensus, and whether they are a more effective vehicle for decisions than an insightful individual, remain popular 80 years
after they were fi rst introduced. Researchers in other disciplines are increasingly drawn to the group as a focus of study and,
of course, groups remain the standard decision-making unit for most important decisions in most societies. It is against this
backdrop of the rich history, modern development and future potential of the subject that this timely four-volume set has
been created, with the intention that it becomes a unique go-to resource for researchers in the fi eld.
