I argue that the two need not be opposed. The best way of making sense of the social scientific practice of looking at is to see interpretivists as looking at typical mental reactions that people in a given culture have to certain acts and artifacts. I argue that scientific theories of the mental? rather than minimalist?theories are needed for this practice to be successful. From the earliest days of the social sciences, scholars have fought fierce battles about whether their endeavors should be thought of as being like those of natural scientists or more like those of literary critics. These skirmishes have become very intense over the last three decades, especially in disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, political science, and history, in which members of both camps exist in large numbers.1 The two sides have used various terms and descriptions to characterize their respective views: scientistic vs. humanistic, positivistic vs. hermeneutic, quantitative vs. qualitative, and Naturwissenschaften vs. Geisteswissenschaften. One very influential way of characterizing these differing views was put forth in anthropologist Clifford Geertz's The Interpretation of Cultures. In this work Geertz argued that the study of culture ought to be an experimental science in search of law but an interpretive one in search of meaning (1973, p. 5).2 The Interpretation of Cultures helped fuel an upsurge of non AUTHOR'S NOTE: Thanks to the two anonymous referees for numerous helpful comments on an earlier draft of this paper.
