I am always a Baha'i, always a sociologist, and always an individual. I have no
problem simultaneously seeing an issue from various perspectives associated
with each of these statuses.

don't see how I can do sociology without having at least a minimal degree of
Verstehen ("to understand" in Weber's sense of empathic understanding).
