Abbott helps social science students discover what questions to
ask. This exciting book is not about habits and the mechanics of
doing social science research, but about habits of thinking that
enable students to use those mechanics in new ways, by coming up
with new ideas and combining them more effectively with old ones.
Abbott organizes his book around general methodological moves, and
uses examples from throughout the social sciences to show how these
moves can open new lines of thinking. In each chapter, he covers
several moves and their reverses (if these exist), discussing
particular examples of the move as well as its logical and
theoretical structure. Often he goes on to propose applications of
the move in a wide variety of empirical settings. The basic aim of
Methods of Discovery is to offer readers a new way of thinking
about directions for their research and new ways to imagine
information relevant to their research problems. Methods of
Discovery is part of the Contemporary Societies series.
