The Rules of Sociological Method

This series aims to create a forum for debate between different theoretical and philosophical traditions in the social sciences. As well as covering broad schools of thought, the series will also concentrate upon the work of particular thinkers whose ideas have had a major impact on social science (these books appear under the subseries title of 'Theoretical Traditions in the Social Sciences'). The series is not limited to abstract theoretical discussion -it will also include more substantive works on contemporary capitalism, the state, politics, and other subject areas.
