The term “meta‐analysis” can be used to indicate a literature review of a body of empirical findings as disclosed in a large number of focused research reports; a summary of replication research on a specific topic, often undertaken with precisely the same techniques; or a theoretical or methodological analysis of philosophical problems associated with approaches like “methodological individualism” or the ideal‐type method. Sometimes the term is used without a great deal of analytical precision. A meta‐metaparadigm called pragmatic sociology has been proposed but not widely accepted. Sometimes the attention paid to meta‐issues is regarded as too abstract, even by theorists, and too removed from empirical research. However, without good metatheory it is very hard to translate one paradigm or result into a different framework
