""Inquiry Into Inquiries: Essays In Social Theory"" by Arthur Fisher Bentley is a collection of essays that explore the nature of social inquiry and the methods used to investigate social phenomena. The book is divided into three parts: the first part provides an overview of the author's approach to social theory, the second part examines the role of language in social inquiry, and the third part explores the relationship between social inquiry and the natural sciences.Bentley argues that social inquiry is a distinct form of inquiry that requires its own set of methods and tools. He suggests that social scientists should focus on the study of human behavior and social structures, rather than attempting to apply the methods of the natural sciences to social phenomena.Throughout the book, Bentley emphasizes the importance of language in social inquiry. He argues that language is not simply a tool for communication, but is also a means of shaping and constructing social reality. He suggests that social scientists must be aware of the ways in which language can influence their research and must develop methods for analyzing the language used in social interactions.Overall, ""Inquiry Into Inquiries"" provides a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of social inquiry and the challenges faced by social scientists in their attempts to understand and explain social phenomena. The book is recommended for anyone interested in the philosophy of social science and the methods used to investigate social phenomena.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

"The essays in this book examine basic problems in the natural and social sciences and in the theory of knowing and the known.

Macksey was a celebrated Johns Hopkins University professor whose affiliation with the university spanned six and a half decades. A legendary figure not only in his own fields of critical theory, comparative literature, and film studies but across all the humanities, Macksey possessed enormous intellectual capacity and a deeply insightful human nature. He was a man who read and wrote in six languages, was instrumental in launching a new era in structuralist thought in America, maintained a personal library containing a staggering collection of books and manuscripts, inspired generations of students to follow him to the thorniest heights of the human intellect, and penned or edited dozens of volumes of scholarly works, fiction, poetry, and translation."-Johns Hopkins University.
