Course objectives
The course deals with sociologicial theory from a hermeneutical perspective which exposes it to a view as a highly rationalized mode of understanding human being-in-the-world. The primary working method of the course is debate that focuses on the interpretation of two core books of the course (Isaac Reed's "Interpretation and Social Knowledge" and Jurgen Haberma's "The Logic of Social Sciences") and two actual applications of theory in influental academic journals (American Journal of Sociology, Sociological Theory). The course leads students to comprehend contemporary alternative sociological standpoints in reference to the conceptual relevance of reality, normativity and meaning.
