This challenging and pioneering work aims to provide a measure (a set of standards) for measures (empirical data) in sociological research. It argues that the critique of positivism has resulted in a methodological impasse. Criticism has pulled the rug from under positivist method but left nothing in its place. In a devastating and systematic critique the author rejects phenomenological and relativist objections to sociological measurement. A wholly new model for the empirical substantiation of sociological theory is developed based on an examination of scientific measurement techniques and a reading of realist philosophical principles. Unlike many books heralding a new direction in sociology, A MEASURE FOR MEASURES goes beyond meta-theory, providing detailed examples to show how the 'new realism' can provide a viable empirical method.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51859713360160,"sku":"NEW0415026598","price":95.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71Kp3Drk0oL.jpg?v=1781592740","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/measure-for-measure-manifesto-international-library-of-sociology-paperback-0415026598","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
