CRITICAL REALISM, HISTORY, AND PHILOSOPHY IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

CRITICAL REALISM, HISTORY, AND PHILOSOPHY IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES TIMOTHY RUTZOU Primary Author mixed material bibliography ENGLAND EMERALD 2018 monographic en ENGLISH BAIK The article argues for the necessity of theory within sociology, in general, and metatheory, in particular. It explores how theoretical, metatheoretical, and philosophical background conditions affect sociological research. It makes the case for why attending to background conditions is important for both the sociologist as an individual and also sociology as a collective and a discipline. In this context, it makes the case for critical realism as a useful program of metatheoretical reﬂexivity that focuses upon the more philosophical dimensions of sociology including the place of ontology and even how theory itself should be understood.
