This seminar will be dedicated to discussing a range of classical and recent topics from the epistemology of sociological knowledge. The epistemology of explanation will be the focal topic for much of the literature which we will be considering, beginning from the 'Methodenstreit' and its more recent reincarnations. The increasing use of models and simulations in sociological theory will be another topic, as will be different ways of making use of empirical data, and, not at least, the status of theory (and theorizing) per se. Required readings will have a bias in favor of applications in organizational research.
