Synopsis: This volume offers a series of interviews with well-known figures in critical realism, addressing questions currently being asked in American sociology, including: Why do we need theory? Why do we need to do ontology? Is it possible to be ‘a realist’ in sociology? What do we mean by science and social science? What is the difference between natural science and social science? What contribution does critical realism make to how we do sociology? What is the place of practice in social explanation? Is or should social science be inherently value neutral? And how do such things help us do better social research? How does critical realism influence our methodological practices? |
