Sociology as an interpretative discipline ephasises the importance of individual motivation and subjective disposition in explaining social action. Interpretative sociology includes perspectives such as symbolic interactionism, ethnomethodology, phenomenology, labelling, etc. All these perspectives originate from Max Weber's concept and method of verstehen, which seeks to put the researcher into the actor's shoes and understand his actions from his own point of view through empathetic liasoning. Interpretative theories differ from structural theories in the following manner: Interpretative theories emphasises on subjective disposition in understanding the meaning of action whereas structural try heories focus only on social action without regard to individual motivation. Interpretative theories regard social reality as arising out of social interactions, whereas structural theories reify reality as being "out there". Interpretative theories primarily use qualitative data, while structural theories use quantitative data. Interpretative theories have been criticised on the ground that it is impossible for an individual from one culture to completely understand the meanings of symbols of another culture.

Q) Sociology as a Interpretative science. Discuss
What should be the answer for this??
