First published in 1980, this book examines the nature of sociological explanation. The tactics of interpretive sociology have often remained obscure because of confusion over the nature of the evidence for interpretation and the nature of decisions among alternative interpretations.

He also presents a fresh view of the relationship between qualitative and statistical claims and shows their complementary character.
