Nico @cyb44

@contractio i'm an Historian, we don't care that much for empirical evidence. So it's a little easier for me than for you ;-)

Nico @cyb44

@contractio but because this we always have defend our work against this widespread positivism you mentioned

Nico @cyb44

@contractio usually we (historians & Japanologists alike) are saying our approach is "qualitativ" as opposed to the "quantitativ" approach >

Nico @cyb44

@contractio >of the social sciences. but i don't like this petty fights between humanities and social science.

Nico @cyb44

@contractio they are like in those fights in kindergarden: "I'm more important and scientific than you!" "No, I am!"
