Description

First published in 1975, this scholarly work by Paul Q. Hirst examines the intersection of Claude Bernard's theory of scientific knowledge and Emile Durkheim's foundational philosophy for scientific sociology. Through careful analysis of Durkheim's Rules of Sociological Method, Hirst explores the central question of whether Durkheim's epistemology is logically consistent and philosophically viable. The study presents a critical investigation into the theoretical framework that shaped modern sociology, identifying inherent contradictions within the epistemological structure Durkheim proposed. This Routledge Library Edition reissue makes this important academic text accessible to researchers, students, and scholars interested in the history of sociological theory, philosophy of science, and the intellectual foundations of social science methodology.
