	Encyclopedia :: encyclopedia : Antipositivism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Antipositivism is the view in sociology that social sciences need to create and use different scientific methods than those used in the field of natural sciences.
		This view was further developed by Max Weber, who introduced the term antipositivism (also known as humanistic sociology).
		The base concepts of antipositivism have expanded beyond the scope of social science, in fact, phenomenology has the same basic principles at its core.

	Hermeneutics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 20th century, Martin Heidegger's philosophical hermeneutics shifted the focus from interpretation to existential understanding, which was treated more as a direct, non-mediated, thus in a sense more authentic way of being in the world than simply as a way of knowing.
		Advocates of this approach claim that such texts, and the people who produce them, cannot be studied using the same scientific methods as the natural sciences, thus use arguments similar to that of the antipositivism.
		Moreover, they claim that such texts are conventionalized expressions of the experience of the author; thus, the interpretation of such texts will reveal something about the social context in which they were formed, but, more significantly, provide the reader with a means to share the experiences of the author.

	Max Weber - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Weber's work is parallel to Sombart's treatise of the same phenomenon, which however located the rise of Capitalism in Judaism.
		Weber's other main contribution to economics (as well as to social sciences in general) is his work on methodology: his theories of "Verstehen" (known as understanding or Interpretative Sociology) and of antipositivism (known as humanistic sociology).
		The doctrine of Interpretative Sociology is as well-known as it is controversial and debated.

		Structural anthropologist Edmund Leach described positivism during the 1966 Henry Myers Lecture as follows: :''Positivism'' is the view that serious scientific inquiry should not search for ultimate causes deriving from some outside source but must confine itself to the study of relations existing between facts which are directly accessible to observation.
		In some quarters of contemporary sociology, Positivism has been replaced by antipositivism.
		Positivism, in particular legal positivism, is a legal view which, in contrast to the natural law view, claims that a legal system can be defined independently of evaluative terms or propositions.

	Review - The Legacy of Kenneth Burke (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		The other selections axe no less stimulating but are more restricted to Burkean themes and interpretative problems.
		Joseph Gusfield concentrates on Burke’s antipositivism, Jane Blankenship on magic and mystery, and Christine Oravec on identification in the light of postmodern doubts about the integrity of individual human agency.
		The previously unpublished essays are certainly the main attraction of Legacy, but reprinted in the appendix is Burke’s 1935 speech at The American Writers’ Conference, “Revolutionary Symbolism in America, which is followed by Frank Lentricchia’s excellent reading of it, excerpted from Criticism and Social Change.
