While sociological modernists were outrageously presumptious in
their claims for sociological knowledge, postmodernists have gone
to another extreme in claiming that it has no more truth status
than fiction. Critical of both positions, Sociological Reasoning
develops an original typology of approaches to social scientific
theory and research which is distinguished by its openness and
reflexive awareness of rhetorical and methodological aspects of
knowledge claims. Laced with graphic illustrative examples, this is
a strikingly well-written text that will appeal to students at
undergraduate level and beyond.
