German Historical school, Austrian school and Max Weber. Marxian approaches and Critical social theory, Habermas and the Frankfurt school. Post-modernist critiques inspired by the literary world. Consensus, uncertainty, imperfect information, inductive inference and the limitations of the scientific method in all sciences in a post-truth world. Moral philosophy, ethical concerns and dimensions in Economics and Management studies.

Learning outcomes
By the end of the course a student will be expected to have an appreciation of the foundations of human science in philosophy and to appreciate how the philosophical presuppositions of leading theorists have influenced the way they have theorised and the methods they have used. A student may be expected to be capable of carrying out an ideological critique to reveal the presumptions and interests which may underpin various standpoints adopted in discussions of theory and in management practices.
Assessment criteria
