This book presents a set theoretical approach to sociological
research. It revisits existing sociological approaches and
discusses their limitations, before suggesting an alternative.
While the existing canonical approaches of Positivism,
Conflictualism, and Pragmatism are based on biology, history, and
physics, respectively, the set theoretical approach is based on
mathematics. Utilising its philosophical exploration delineated by
Alain Badiou, the book further translates his work into the field
of social science. The result of this translation is termed
Multiplitism, which evades the limiting contradictions of existing
approaches. Drawing on the mathematical notion of 'set' and
relating it to recent sociological turns such as the relational and
the ontological, the book proposes a scale-relativity through which
the researcher (as subject) and the researched (as object) are
integrated. The book will be of interest to social scientists,
particularly social theorists and advanced level students.
