Removal of article-style text[edit]

While cleaning up this disambiguation page, I removed the following article-style definition and references from it:

Interpretivism is taken to denote an alternative to the positivist orthodoxy that has held sway for decades. It is predicated upon the view that a strategy is required that respects the differences between people and the objects of the natural sciences and therefore requires the social scientist to grasp the subjective meaning of social action. Its intellectual heritage includes: Weber's notion of Verstehen; the hermeneutic-phenomenological tradition; and symbolic interactionism.

There's nothing wrong with these, but they should be worked into one of the linked articles, if someone feels up to it: the disambiguation page itself should only include the minimum needed to get readers to the right article. --Piet Delport (talk) 10:59, 11 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
