Historical Sociology
The article reviews the methodological choices historical sociologists confront when they do their research. Tilly organizes these choices into five categories: genre, ontology, explanatory logic, mechanisms, and practical procedures. The article describes what these categories entail in some detail and concludes with a set of prescriptions for researchers doing historical investigation.
