Another image- man concerned in developing a scientific methodology that he can impose on human phenomena. Image of the sociologist as a detached, sardonic observer. Due to him wanting to be a genuine scientist. Sociologist is someone concerned with understanding society in a disciplined way. Strictly defined frame of reference, need good evidence.
