Before undertaking an examination of the issues current in social criticism, it is necessary to settle upon the method which ought to be common to the several social sciences. For if the adoption of a particular method results in unconscious acceptance of features of the society under critical examination, then clearly any such putative critique is in fact futile. In this paper I examine some of Marcuse's largely negative comments regarding the method currently employed in the social sciences. I am not concerned to arrive at a complete view as to the appropriate method, but rather to expose some questions that need to be answered if any such view is to be formulated
