First Published in 1998. This is Volume XI of twenty-two in a
series on Social Theory and Methodology. Notions are widespread
that sociological theory is either an industrious activity on the
drawing boards of the architects of fantasy or a branch of
esoterics operating in a shadowy realm of semi-darkness. The
present study holds neither of these conceptions of sociological.
The present study's function is to illuminate the difference
between one theory and another. The power and reliability of a
theory are not always evident all at once. A theory may have a
power to explain what was not originally anticipated; it may also
disclose the existence of problems it cannot explain.
