Uncertainty of social reality. Theory and methods of social practice

Abstract

Uncertainty in sociology is a speculation subject for sociologists and the reason for criticism of sociological studies. The authors keep to a position of methodological optimism”: sociology - is a measurement above all. Judgment that is not based on the measurement is doubtful from the point of view of sociological reality. From the point of view of the authors, uncertainty in sociology appears from imperfection of conceptualization procedures of empiric material into a social fact, which is being considered in every sociological research
