The antagonism between the sociology of knowledge and standard research methods is examined in terms of the contemporary analysis of blue-collar workers. Qualitative methodology is suggested as a possible alternative to the historical research orientation that has dominated the sociology of knowledge. Conceptual and methodological suggestions designed to merge sociology of knowledge interests with qualitative methodology are offered with empirical examples drawn from a participant observation study of steel workers.
