Sociology as a Human Science is a set of foundational,
wide-ranging and updated essays from Isaac Ariail Reed. Gathered
together for the first time with a new introduction, they
articulate a distinct perspective on concept and method in social
science. Reed writes about realism and positivism, postmodernism
and empiricism, mechanisms and causality, and power and history,
developing thereby an understanding of the key debates out of which
21st-century sociology has developed. Carefully considering all
manner of arguments in metatheory and epistemology and moving
towards a program of interpretive explanation focused on culture
and power, Reed places sociology at the center of debates about
knowledge production across the humanities and social sciences. His
reconstructive approach, positioned “after the posts”
(poststructuralism, postmodernism, and postcolonialism) provides a
way for interpretive sociology to provide analytically sound,
theoretically extensive, and empirically rich understandings of
social life.
