| book description |

Originally published in 1973, this book examines the difficulties which sociologists have in providing useful scientific definitions of terms like â€˜prejudiceâ€™ and â€˜discriminationâ€™. The author argues that such notions are essentially dependent on the social policy adopted, and that their common misuse by sociologists reflects a deeper confusion â€“ that between the sociologistâ€™s search for social rules and regularities, and their search for social laws. The book clarifies the complex and important relationships between a scientific interest in the rule-oriented behaviour of people and a scientific interest in social laws about that behaviour. It explains how and why so many sociological inquiries lead to the discovery of mere social practices rather than social laws.
