II. Understanding in the social sciences revisited
Inquiry 12 (1-4):347-349 (1969)
| Abstract | Rolf Gruner's article on the role of understanding in the social sciences casts rational understanding as the aim of the social sciences. Even though he opts for a non?controversial methodology for the social sciences, his view still commits the social sciences to seeking the reproduction of reality rather than the explanation of it | |||||||||
