Dear researchers of the Internet,
I'm looking for literature that deals with the relations between theory and method in the social sciences in an age of big data and the supposed 'end of theory'. Data is increasingly likely to be a starting point for social scientists investigating the digital world, but what does this mean for theory, method and the relations between them?
Any information and literature would be very welcome. Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
