Marxism Psychology and Social Science Analysis applies Marxist theory psychology and the work of Lucien SÃve to specific research in the social sciences. It shows in practical terms what guidance can be offered for social scientific researchers wanting to incorporate SÃveâs view of personality into their work. Providing case studies drawn from different social sciences that give the book significant breadth of scope Roche reviews the impact of Taking SÃve Seriously across the study of international relations theory economics law and moral philosophy. The book begins by placing the work of Lucien SÃve in context and considers the development of psychology in relation to Marxism before going on to summarise the work of SÃve in relation to the psychology of personality. It considers the opportunities for refreshed research in social relations based on developments by SÃve before examining Marxist biography and the implications of SÃveâs views. The book also includes chapters on the social discount rate on constructivism in international relations on the concept of promising in moral philosophy and the Marxist conception of individual responsibility. It addresses not only how research should be carried out differently but whether utilising the theoretical framework of other writers even non-Marxists can deliver a similar outcome. With its use of five distinct case studies to analyse the work of Lucien SÃve this unique book will be of great interest to academics researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of psychology philosophy and social sciences. .
