Book Synopsis
Over the years anxiety over the problem of naturalism has driven debates in social theory. Analyzing the work of writers such as Theda Skocpol, Clifford Geertz, Leela Gandhi, Roy Bhaskar, Foucault, and Habermas, the author delineates three epistemic modes of social research: realism, normativism, and interpretivism.

Trade Review
"Interpretation and Social Knowledge offers an accessible mapping of the epistemological debates that have seized the attention of our most formidable scholars over the past fifty years, and more importantly, it provides a nuanced understanding of how social inquiry can and should proceed." (John R. Hall, University of California, Davis)"
