David Fields — A Short Note on Social Theory and Enquiry
Brief summary of the epistemological conditions that influence methodological options is the social sciences. Fields know how to pack a paragraph. Very nice.
Short translation: Everyone has a POV and that POV introduces epistemological presuppositions as methodological assumptions into all theoretical enquiry. Methodological assumptions function as norms in selecting and organizing data, for example, through prioritizing.

Dangling prepositional phrases and over reliance on adverbs make this a difficult read but important points. Would an orthodoxy modeller at the worlds central banks ever concede his point? No.
