CRITICAL REALISM, HISTORY, AND PHILOSOPHY IN THE SOCIAL SCIENCES

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.
