Beschreibung
"By contrasting the diverse trajectories and strategies of positivist method within each discipline, "The Politics of Method in the Human Sciences "develops a comparative perspective which has been lacking in virtually all prior treatments of positivism in social science. The contrasts in the form and prestige that positivist method assumed in each discipline are striking."--Craig Calhoun, President of the Social Science Research Council
