This book engages with fundamental questions about the nature of human social reality and its connection to social sciences. It examines whether human social reality can be explained using the same methods of objectivity as those used in the physical sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book delves into whether historical and cultural influences on human existence hinder the objectivity of the human sciences, and whether paradigms like Marxism and Ethnomethodology offer an alternative model of social objectivity. It also explores the issue of cultural relativism, questioning whether the diversity of traditions limits our understanding of society and humanity. The work discusses these critical questions from various philosophical perspectives, offering an illuminating exploration of human self-understanding and the philosophy of social inquiry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBijoy H.
