Theorizing in Social Science by Richard Swedberg
Advocates a crucial shift from looking at theory in social science, to the act of theorizing and the construction of theories.
"The debate about methodology in the social sciences has almost completely bypassed discussion of the tools that we can use to build good theoriesThis book is giant step forward in correcting this omission. If we are lucky, it will stimulate a new branch of methodology devoted to the procedures that analysts can most productively use in the context of discovery." -- James Mahoney * Northwestern University *
Richard Swedberg is Professor of Sociology at Cornell University and author of numerous books, including The Max Weber Dictionary (SUP 2005) and Principles of Economic Sociology (2003), among others.
