Positivism and Sociology: Explaining Social Life (Controversies in Sociology) Book

Any serious attempt to explain social life has come to terms with socilogy's positivist legacy.

The merit of this book is that it makes this diversity its central theme: it reviews 12 conceptions of positivism that have emerged since the mid-19th century.
