It has featured over 2,000 authors, includingHannah Arendt ,Leo Strauss andJacques Derrida .An award-winning international quarterly of the social sciences, Social Research has been mapping the landscape of intellectual thought since 1934. Most issues are theme-driven, combining historical analysis, theoretical explanation, and reportage in rigorous and engaging discussion by some of the world's leading scholars and thinkers. Articles cover various fields of the social sciences and the humanities and thus promote the interdisciplinary aims that have characterized The New School for Social Research since its inception. Recent issues have focused on such themes as "Busyness," "The Worldly Philosophers at Fifty: A Tribute to Robert Heilbroner," "Errors: Consequences of Big Mistakes in the Natural and Social Sciences," and "Courage."
The themes selected are current, often pressing issues in world society. The themes often include a political angle, keeping in the tradition of the New School for Social Research's politically-conscious history.
The latest issue of the journal, Volume 73 Number 3, is "Politics and Science: How Their Interplay Results in Public Policy", the publication of the conference's proceedings. Previous to that was "Fairness: Its Role in Our Lives", and "China in Transition".
