Chapter 1 Introduction STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Like our actual society, which it studies, social science is not unified but divided in two: bourgeois sociology and Marxism.
To simplify the issues, twentieth-century philosophy has broadly argued that reality cannot be separated from the knowing subject, because ‘reality’ is in some sense ‘produced’ by the paradigms which seek to understand it, and secondly mind and body are not separate; rather, according to writers like Merleau-Ponty, we are ‘embodied’. In a more technical parlance, much of modern philosophy from Nietzsche onwards has been concerned to undermine the philosophical credibility and importance of the transcendental subject.
4 The comparison can and should use the shared assumptions to make the differences clear. Such a comparison has three presuppositions. Comparison as such presupposes first of all that Marx and Weber are ‘comparable’ in terms of personality and achievement—that they are of comparable stature. Secondly, a comparison of one thing with another assumes that the objects compared are identical in certain respects while differing in others. And thirdly, a comparison of one with another (by us as a third party) presupposes that their respective goals of research should be distinguished with regard to their idea of man; this was not the deliberate and explicit goal in the research of Marx and Weber, but it was, nevertheless, their original motive.
