Abstract

The article looks Canadian sociology. It responds to several articles within the issue by sociologists Karen Stanbridge, D. B. Tindall, and Neil McLaughlin commenting on the author's previously published essay "Committing Canadian Sociology". According to the author, most of the critiques leveled at him in these articles are based on issues of epistemology rather than substantive sociological explanation. Topics discussed include sociologist Harold Innis, sociological methodology, and the relationship between ideographic and nomothetic explanation.
