Critical resistance to traditional empirical methods and the quest for foundational knowledge of human action is widespread. Recognition of theoretical and methodological inadequacies has sparked a search for a more robust conception of human science. This fascinating and carefully reasoned book develops the argument for human science as social construction. Demonstrating that descriptions of human action can neither be derived from nor corrected by scientific observation, Gergen provides a bold interdisciplinary challenge to traditional views, thus clearing the way for significant alterations in scientific practice.

Toward transformation in social knowledge
The sheer audacity of this book's mission is worthy of praise.
Unfortunately, our author should have been a little more specific about his aims. What I am referring to is his tendency to use "creativity" in place what should (probably) be termed "large-scale creative influence." There are creative philosophers he didn't mention who have had mightier creativity than many of the philosophers he mentioned in his book. Fernando Pessao certainly deserves some consideration, seeing as though he has a mightier subjective philosophy than Nietzsche does. Jacques Lacan also deserve mention. Psychoanalysis, as a whole, deserved a lot of recognition....
But, for the most part, I enjoyed it. Definitely the best sociology book I've ever read. The theory is okay; the terms used seem a little botched up; but the writing is smooth and crisp.
