Introduction
Methodological Foundations of Sociology
Point 1: Meanings are Empirically Situated
Point 2: We cannot always find the intentions of the actors
Point 3: The goal of interpretation is to generate evidence about the world, and we can do this both rationally and empathetically
Point 4: Meaningless actions are still important insofar they impact social actions
Point 5: Sociological understaning is explanatory
Point 6: Sociological understanding is hypothetical
Point 7: Motives of actions are crucial to sociological interpretation because they are related to causality
Point 8: Meaningless actions are not unimportant, but they are not sociological facts
Point 9: Individuals...are the intelligible performers of meaningful actions
Point 10: Sociology is distinct from psychology
Point 11: Sociology is distinct from the discipline of history
