Method in social science
a realist approach
Bibliographic details
Summary
In its first publication, Method in Social Science was widely praised for its penetrating analysis of central questions in social science discourse. This second edition addresses new developments in the related areas of philosophy and method. Andrew Sayer has rewritten and substantially enlarged the introduction, which further clarifies many of the arguments that appear in the text. His brief discussion of the importance of narrative form will be particularly useful to students concerned with the problems of writing, composition, and presentation of their material.
