摘要：

The disagreement between MacDonald and me recapitulates a recurrent debate in sociology about what sociology should be. I believe it should be science; MacDonald believes it should be history. We are therefore talking past each other, because one cannot be judged by the standards of the other. Science is not history. History is not science.
