Which sociologist wrote the book ‘The Rules of Sociological Method’ ?

  • A.M. Weber
  • B.E. Durkheim
  • C.A. Giddens
  • D.T. Parsons

Answer: B

The Rules of Sociological Method was written by E. Durkheim.

Durkheim published it in 1895. It argues that social facts, ways of acting, thinking and feeling external to the individual and exercising constraint, must be treated as things and explained by other social facts.

Weber's methodological essays were collected as The Methodology of the Social Sciences, Giddens wrote New Rules of Sociological Method (1976) in deliberate response to Durkheim, and Parsons wrote The Structure of Social Action.
