“…With reference to the development of modern science, this discussion has extended over two centuries right from its cradle, namely, the German hermeneutic, phenomenological, historical and dialectical thought. It is rooted in Hegel's work, the Phenomenology of Spirit 1 , first written in 1807, followed by a development of phenomenology by Husserl 2 16 and Robert Park 17 and other inaugurated sociologically important approaches, such as symbolic interactionism, ethnography, ethnomethodology and other. This School also witnessed, at the hands of its first director, Albion Small, the birth of the world's first sociology journal in 1895, namely, the American Journal of Sociology, whose early writings were especially based on qualitative field research.…”
