A discussion of the state of the social sciences in Ireland, focusing on the disciplines of economics, sociology, & political science. It is noted that many of the associations related to the development of these disciplines span the whole of Ireland, although since 1922, partition has located the two parts of the country in different national identities. The situation of peripherality in relation to European developments is also noted. A brief account is given of the history of these disciplines in Ireland, their relation to society, the development of formal education, & the establishment of major institutes & other bodies to encourage research. A final comment deals with the emergence of professional associations within this small but active social science community. The lack of any state-supported body to support research in the social sciences is stressed. 1 Figure, 2 Appendixes, 14 References. Modified AA

The development of new approaches in recent times has brought about major changes in the study of social & political life. They reject almost everything that has been traditionally accepted, for which they have been severely criticized. But focusing on academic issues alone won't help much. We can understand the new approaches, their concerns, their rejection of science as model, their disdain for objectivity, universality, truth, relevance & so on, more adequately by relating them to the social conditions that obtain in the West. There are, however, major differences between these conditions & those that obtain in countries like India. & the kind of problems facing these countries can be addressed meaningfully by the more traditional approach than by the approaches developed recently. This is why, while it does not seem to have much future in the West, where it originated & continued for long, it may survive, even flourish, in countries like India. References.
