''Making Social Science Matter: Why Social Inquiry Fails and How It Can Succeed Again'' is a 2001 book by Bent Flyvbjerg, who is critical of the social sciences. First, he argues that the social sciences have failed as science. Second, he develops the argument that in order to matter again the social sciences must model themselves after phronesis (as opposed to episteme, which is at the core of natural science). Finally, he develops methodological guidelines and shows practical examples of how a phronetic social science may be employed for research purposes.〔Bent Flyvbjerg, ''Making Social Science Matter: Why Social Inquiry Fails and How It Can Succeed Again'', (Cambridge University Press, 2001) ISBN 0-521-77568-X〕 Flyvbjerg rejects the natural science model as an ideal for the social sciences and suggests that social sciences are more relevant to people, e.g., ordinary citizens and policy makers. Flyvbjerg argues that to gain relevance, social science must inform practical reason; accordingly this is best done by a focus on values and power. In terms of the philosophy and history of science, Flyvbjerg takes his cue from Aristotle rather than from Socrates and Plato. Flyvbjerg's book ''Rationality and Power: Democracy in Practice'' is an example of the methodology and theory developed in ''Making Social Science Matter'' employed in practice.〔Bent Flyvbjerg, ''Rationality and Power: Democracy in Practice'', The University of Chicago Press, 1998.〕 == Reception == According to Caterino and Schram, "The special thing about Flyvbjerg's challenge to social science is the way it bridges theory and practice in a way that unites philosophical and empirical subdivisions in the social sciences."〔Brian Caterino and Sanford F. Schram, "Introduction: Reframing the Debate," in Sanford F. Schram and Brian Caterino, eds., ''Making Political Science Matter: Debating Knowledge, Research, and Method.'' New York: New York University Press, 2006.〕 In this manner, the book transgresses disciplinary boundaries to make a more compelling call for a social science that people could use to make a difference in their lives.
