Beneath the Surface (eBook, ePUB)

An Account of Three Styles of Sociological Research

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Originally published in 1974, this book evaluates and compares three important styles of sociological research: positivism, symbolic interactionism and critique. The book describes and evaluates each research technique as an experience for the researcher, and the author explains what they themselves have learned of sociological meaning from engaging in it. The book traces the main ideas through their last generations of sociologists and asks what future there is in a particular method.
