Weber and Durkheim: A Methodological Comparison

Weber and Durkheim: A Methodological Comparison is a systematic, comparative analysis of the methodologies of Max Weber and ةmile Durkheim. Jensen shows how Weber and Durkheim analyse Protestants and Catholics in practice in The Protestant Ethic and Suicide respectively. The very different ways that Weber and Durkheim carry out their analyses are then used to describe, analyse and contrast their methodological principles and points of view, raising fundamental questions in sociological and social science analysis.
