Document Summary
Metatheory- looking at sociological theory and the assumptions within them. Foundational issues to consider- social life, scientific knowledge, social life. Frye"s three levels: contemplative (intellect observing+ classifying, emotions determine how we feel about what we are observing. Separate), active (if contemplation is unsatisfactory, wanting to create change. Intellect+emotions combined together- world sociologists study) and imaginative (look at what we"ve done, not the way imagined it. You then imagine how the world can be a much better place. Nothing happens, we"d have to go back to action level to create change). The mind (intellect and emotions) is involved at each level, where intellect is the basis for science and emotions are the basis to the arts. Science and the arts seem completely divergent, but they do converge in some ways. There is a role that language plays in sciences, and how we engage with the world.
