About This Book
The text offers a systematic positivist study of social science methodology, defining scientific laws for social phenomena and proposing a classification of sciences by logical, historical, and pedagogical perspectives. It distinguishes abstract and concrete sciences, argues for applying experimental and inductive methods to political and legal phenomena, and examines elementary and composite sociological laws. It treats beliefs and political doctrines as social phenomena subject to analysis, discusses progressive and regressive social laws, and reflects on limits of knowledge, determinism, and the historical evolution of scientific methods.
