| Summary: | An analysis of the thought of eight prominent sociologists reveals a conception of social philosophy as a synthesis of the social sciences on a philosophical level. Further analysis of the distinction between philosophical and scientific methodology and of the meaning of synthesis leads to the conclusion that the social sciences can be synthesized on the two different levels of science and philosophy. The latter level-the philosophical-shows itself to be better adaptable to alignment with philosophy and Catholic doctrine. This is a view different from those who wish to align the scientific level with philosophy and with theology. |
