Crying out for more science does not solve all problems; rather, it makes it easy to shrug off
responsibility for them. This is rightly pointed out by the influential Norwegian philosopher
Hans Skjervheim in his critique of positivist science. The critique of positivism in itself is to
steer clear of problems that we all ought to be addressing. In confronting Skjervheim's
critique of positivism with post-constructivism, this article deals with social science's
circumvention of the nature–culture relationship.
