In this paper I will explore the relation between engagement and
social science. I will try to argue that positivist epistemology found in the early
days of social sciences still greatly influences our understanding of social engagement.
In the first part of the paper, I will analyze the epistemology of social sciences
advocated by Fourier and Saint-Simon and try to show that, for them, scientific
method was primarily the means for taming social change, as well as projecting
private desires and plans onto the public sphere. In the second part, I will offer
an alternative account of social engagement using the epistemic role of the
community found in pragmatism.
