Method: a method is a procedure agreed on by participants of a discussion or research project. In the case of violations of a method, the comparability of the results is in particular questioned, since these no longer come from a set with uniformly defined properties of the elements.

Émile Durkheim on Method - Dictionary of Arguments

Wright I 20
Method/Durkheim/Wright, G. H.: from the two great sociologists of the turn of the 19th century to the 20th century, Durkheim was essentially a positivist in terms of his methodology, while Max Weber combines a positivist tendency with teleological accents ("functional rationalism") and an emphasis on empathetic understanding of "understanding sociology".
Durkheim's methodological point of view is most clearly seen in Durkheim 1893(1) and Durkheim 1894(2).
>M. Weber, >Procedural rationality, >Positivism.
Wright: Despite his positivist attitude, I believe that some of Durkheim's main ideas, such as those on the "représentations collectives" of social consciousness, could be reinterpreted fruitfully in the sense of a hermeneutic method of understanding.
>Hermeneutics, >Understanding.
