چکیده
The essays in The Politics of Method in the Human Sciences contribute to a historical and comparative sociology of social science by systematically comparing the rises, falls, and absences of ‘‘methodological positivism’’ across the human sciences.

My remarks focus on these three pieces, drawing on the other contributions to illustrate aspects of the argument or to suggest tensions that need exploration.
