This essay focuses on Germany and Austria, where political with past was particularly sharp discontinuities intellectual configuration sciences were most obvious.

Methods for group comparisons using predicted probabilities and marginal effects on probabilities are developed for regression models for binary outcomes. Unlike approaches based on the comparison of regression coefficients across groups, the methods we propose are unaffected by the identification of the coefficients and are expressed in the natural metric of the outcome probability. While we d...

Methods for group comparisons using predicted probabilities and marginal effects on probabilities are developed for the binary regression model. Unlike standard tests that compare regression coefficients across groups, the tests we propose are unaffected by the identification of the coefficients and are expressed in the natural metric of the outcome probability. While we focus on the logit mode...

Понятие легитимности играет важную роль в многообразных современных социальных дискурсах. В статье рассматриваются основные принципы концептуализации понятий «легитимность», «легитимный порядок» «понимающей социологии» М. Вебера. Анализируются ключевые понятия его концепции, затрагивается вопрос о ее философско-методологических основаниях. Веберовская трактовка «легитимность» сопоставляется с т...

What does it mean to live for sociology, today? In attempting to answer this question I return to Max Weber’s famous lectures delivered toward the end of his life—one on science as a vocation and the other on politics as a vocation. He presented ‘‘Science as a Vocation’’ in November 1917 toward the end of World War I and the more pessimistic ‘‘Politics as a Vocation’’ in January 1919 after Germ...

Abstract Sociology is a science concerned with both the interpretive understanding of social action and corresponding causal explanation, process, result. A explanation should be foundation prediction. For many years, due to data computing power constraints, quantitative research in has primarily focused on statistical tests analyze correlations causality, leaving predictions largely ignored. B...

The paper is organised into four main sections. The first section is concerned with the interpretive approach as applied within information systems (IS) research. The second section discusses the case study approach, including data collection and analysis, as applied in many IS studies. The third section presents case study as an IS research design. Finally, the paper addresses the empirical fi...
