I believe, with Pitrim Sorokin (the World’s Greatest Sociologist -- the title of Prof. Zimmerman' book) , that the “traditional” positivist/empiricist perspectives on the social sciences have created havoc -not only for science itself - but for modern human societies in general. Look everywhere around you and see for yourself ! It is time to seriously consider The Real Alternative …i.e. Sorokin’s "Integral Theory of Truth and Reality" which combines the truths of “Faith” (Super-Rational , Super Empirical) with those of “Reason” (Rational) along with those of the “Senses” (Empirico-Sensory). But, starting with what we have today, how this integration of the three sources of TRUTH can be systematically achieved is -of course- at the core of the whole project. This Site is dedicated to just that..., an attempt to explore and outline the methodological issues of building this overdue New Paradigm of the Social Sciences.
