Discussion
Who argues that any consideration of social facts without their value components is unreal ?
Answer: A
The argument is Radhakamal Mukerjee's.
Mukerjee, a founder of the Lucknow school, built his sociology around values. In works such as The Social Structure of Values (1949) he argued that social facts are always bound up with human values, so that a study of society which strips away values gives an unreal and incomplete picture. He called for a transdisciplinary social science centred on values.
G.S. Ghurye is known for his historical and Indological work on caste and culture, Irawati Karve for kinship organisation in India, and M.N. Srinivas for field studies and concepts such as Sanskritization and dominant caste. None made the value-component argument central.
