This article provides an editorial introduction to the following three related articles on the growing use and influence of social science research in family law. It first considers why this has become problematic and identifies some common strategies used by advocates, sometimes under the guise of scholarship, to destroy the standing of research findings contrary to their ideological or political position. Then it discusses briefly the remedies proposed to mitigate these kinds of problems within the following three articles.

Role of futurology in social change for developing countries, UNESCO programs, and other issues; 8 articles.

"Alors que la philosophie s'est longtemps pensée comme mère de toutes les sciences", les nouveaux champs de savoirs de l'époque moderne, soucieux désormais d'assurer leur autonomie scientifique, n'ont eu de cesse de contester cette position. C'est encore vrai à l'époque contemporaine où les sciences sociales ont cherché à ravir la place jadis occupée par la philosophie. Tel est le conflit que Johann Michel explore dans cet ouvrage à la fois original et novateur, dont tout l'enjeu est de mettre en lumière la manière dont, d'une part, les sciences sociales dérivent de courants fondateurs de la philosophie (positivisme, pragmatisme, phénoménologie...) et, d'autre part, les sciences sociales opposent leurs méthodes et leurs objets à ceux de la philosophie. Enfin, il s'agit d'éclairer la manière dont les sciences sociales et la philosophie peuvent chercher, sous certaines conditions, à se féconder mutuellement."--Page 4 of cover

Chomsky's critique of US foreign policy – and the media coverage it generates – has significant theoretical merit, and deserves to be of considerable interest within the social sciences. His analysis rests upon two distinctive positions. First, he claims that capitalism only survives because of the role played by the state, legislatively and administratively, controversially adding that it operates as an economic agent providing welfare for the rich. While the political and corporate elite can have varied and at times conflicting interests, the so-called common interest, operationalized via the state, excludes the mass of ordinary people from existing power and economic relations. Second, Chomsky's analysis of the state is supported by an admittedly unverifiable view of an essentialist human nature. For Chomsky, humans are creative and capable of 'abduction'. This leads him to argue for conditions of freedom, not so that humans are free to be atomistic individuals, but to allow an interdependent and creative mutuality to flourish. Ironically, the marginalization of Chomsky by social scientists and intellectual elites, especially in the US, has resulted in their own assumptions remaining unchallenged and unexamined.
