Volume 2: Selecting A Type of Approach and Building Concepts
This volume focuses on the monographic method, description and explanation, the qualitative analysis of small units, methods of comparative analysis and methods of historical analysis, questions of the nature of value-free research, ideal type conceptualization, provisory definition, the construction of the sociological object, methods of description, classifying typologies, multidimensional classification and polythetic classification.
Volume 3: Building Theories
In addition to a section on content analysis this volume investigates methods of observation and comparison, rules dealing with `social facts', epistemology, mechanistic models, biological models, analogy and homology and the method of verstehen.
Volume 4: Explaining and Understanding and Finding Out the Right Theoretical Frame
Continuing with an investigation of the method of verstehen this volume focuses on phenomenological sociology, the rational choice model, cognitive and axiological rationality and how competing theories explain the same phenomenon.
