Why read it?

1 author picked New Rules of Sociological Method as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

He is one of the well known living sociologists globally. In this text he shows the importance or interpretative sociology for understanding social reality. I personally recommend it to those who want to know how our social world is constructed.
