60 Jahre Empirische Sozialforschung in vergleichender Perspektive

TL;DRAbstract

“Traditionally, German sociology and political science have been primarily theoretical, speculative, or historical, rather than empirical and quantitative. Change in research orientation is in itself an important problem for social sciences. In the case of German social science, there was much resistance to change because emphasis on measurement was frequently considered an American idea, while the development of all-inclusive philosophical systems was associated with the supremacy of German social science” (Katona 1953/54, 471).
