- Sociology a Science -Realism
- Realism is the view that events in both the social world and natural world are caused by underlying structures
- These may not be observable
- Bhasker
- Critises positives for suggesting that natural scientific method is only based on observable phenoma
- Many of the greatest scientific discoveries haven't been observed, science isn't limited to what is observed
- They see little difference between natural sciences and sociology
- We can make assumptions about unobservable phenomena
- because they focus on the underlying structures rather than observable phenomena, it means that marxism and interpretivism could be seen to be scientific
- Realism is the view that events in both the social world and natural world are caused by underlying structures
