Abstract
In our time of "return to empiricism" and the silenced arguments of theorists, it is necessary to create conditions for the revival of discussions in order to better understand the nature and goals of sociology. We do not accept references of critical realists to ontology to search for guarantees of the validity of sociology, advocating a culture-based hermeneutical version, and suggest a cultural-sociological approach to epistemology. The production of truth in social science is the reading of the meanings of the social world and the performance of truth within the boundaries of data. Ration of social science, we believe, is achievable only outside of (forgoing) ontology. Theories are abstractions of researchers ' minds that allow us to interpret social meanings of actions, relationships, and structures. The success of an explanation lies in the effective interweaving of the meaning structure of researchers and actors.
