To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An interpretation may be intended to explain a single act or a whole life. In either case it requires some standards by which the investigator and his critics may appraise the explanation. Too often an investigator draws what conclu- sions he wishes, making no effort to prove their correctness, and the reader in turn either agrees or disagrees with the conclusions without attempting to test their validity. Whether or not any theory in social science can dem- onstrate its validity was a question... discussed by conferees at a meeting called by the Social Science Research Council in December, 1938. In the report of this meeting (29) various criteria for the validating of a social theory were presented. Briefly summarized, they are as follows: 1. Feelings of subjective certainty. The illuminative power of a theory for the investigator who propounds (or accepts) it, though by no means an adequate proof of its validity, is an indicator not to be discarded altogether. Subjective certainty is one sign that suggests a good fit of nomothetic knowledge with specific evidence, though it can never be taken alone.
