تجربهگرای منطقی
In his later work on historical fertility tran- sitions, Coale appears to favour a logical empiricist approach, pruning theoretical conclusions to fit the data, and ending with an anticlimactic restatement of transi- tion theory reminiscent of Notestein's writings forty years earlier.
The logical empiricist approach maintains its hold .
The logical empiricist view of science has dominated social science, including de- mography, in the latter half of the 20th century.
A more recent, but similar, approach to explanation in social science is Social Mechanisms: An Analytical Approach to Social Theory [20], a collection of essays calling for a return to so-called 'middle-range theory,' and generally rejecting the logical empiricist emphasis on empirical generalizations.
These philosophers challenge the classic logical empiricist view, arguing that it is neither an accurate description of what scientists actually do, nor a good guide to what they should do for their work to be fruitful.
