Wolfe on the professionalization of sociologists

I promised to give you all a page number for where Wolfe talks about how social scientists emulated the natural science model to raise their professional status. On page 48, Wolfe writes:

The scientific model may not, finally, have taught all that much about social reality, but it did deal extremely well with the reality of who social scientists were and what they aspired to be. Its set of rules for professional behavior enables its practitioners to resolve some exceptionally awkward questions about what social scientists, as opposed to social science, ought to do. Social scientists could attempt to be objective, even if social science could not. Social scientists could follow well-known rules, even if reality did not.

Enjoy!
