For the past fifty years anxiety over the problem of naturalism has driven debates in social theory. One side pursues the idea of social science as another kind of natural science, while the other radically rejects the possibility of objective and explanatory knowledge. All of the various developments in social scientific theory since then have reflected this dichotomy between naturalism and post-modernism. "Interpretation and Social Knowledge" suggests a third way, reframing this debate and offering a synthetic vision that sets out a new understanding of sociological interpretation. Analyzing the work of writers such as Theda Skocpol, Clifford Geertz, Leela Gandhi, Roy Bhaskar, Foucault, and Habermas, Isaac Ariail Reed delineates three epistemic modes of social research: realism, normativism, and interpretivism. Reed argues that the last mode provides a way forward for an anti-naturalist sociology that overcomes the opposition between interpretation and explanation and uses theory to build concrete, historically specific causal explanations of social phenomena. Both an examination of and a theoretical meditation on how social investigators do their work, "Interpretation and Social Knowledge" is an ingenious and fruitful exploration of what makes the human sciences uniquely capable of revealing and explaining our world.

評分interpretivism如何得到因果解釋
評分深入淺齣說明白瞭社會學界混亂的事實-理論關係問題,溫和地打瞭一大巴掌critical realism 的臉,邏輯嚴謹到産生瞭美感,同時又對不完美的理論們給予瞭極大的善意,讀完能大大提升人們多於一些研究質量的評估能力,值得每一個社科學子和工作者閱讀。除瞭刀刀見血的邏輯分析之外,作者的主張也還是人文主義的,讓人溫暖。作者本人也是個非常好的學者和教育工作者。 讀完追加!!!神作!!!雞凍到說不齣話來,真的值得一個個字看!!!
