1. A continuing tension between nomothetic and idiographic emphases has characterised the development of social thought. From among all the thinkers we have covered during the unit choose three theorists: one who has put forth a predominantly nomothetic conception of social analysis one who has espoused a predominantly idiographic conception and one who has combined both tendencies in her or his conception of anthropology in a relatively more balanced way. Justify why you categorise each thinker as primarily nomothetic idiographic or both nomothetic/idiographic by illustrating the explanatory/descriptive tendencies of each with concrete examples of the type of analysis she or he has used.
