Interpretation and Social Knowledge: On the Use of Theory in the Human Sciences

For the past fifty years anxiety over naturalism has driven debates in social theory.

Interpretation and Social Knowledge suggests a different route, offering a way forward for an antinaturalist sociology that overcomes the opposition between interpretation and explanation and uses theory to build concrete, historically specific causal explanations of social phenomena.
