Interpretivism (social science)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Interpretivism in the social sciences refers to a method, or group of methods, that holds that the social sciences ought to be concerned, not simply with quantifying what actually happens in social phenomena, but in providing an interpretation of events and phenomena in terms of how the people involved understand their own experience. It's earliest prominent proponent was German sociologist Max Weber.
