Originally published in 1982. This volume explores some features
of modern philosophy of science from the point of view of their
utility for sociology's self-understanding. Recently philosophers
of science have broken with the empiricism once fundamental to
their discipline, and have sought alternative methods of science.
Founded on the belief that these developments are significant for
sociologists, the book explores the failings of the old "received
view" and some of the more recent alternatives. It proposes a
schematic outline of the structure of inquiry, paying detailed
attention to questions about the nature of theory, explanation and
demonstration.
