Adrian Hayes is a demographer and sociologist who has combined an active academic career with work as a development practitioner and consultant. His early education was in England (with a bachelor's degree in physics and mathematics), followed by a Ph D in the USA from Brown University (in sociology), and postdoctoral studies at the University of Michigan (in demography). He has taught population studies and sociology at leading universities in the US, Canada, Australia, China and Nepal, and has been associated with the Australian National University for over 20 years. He has co-edited with Professor Zhongwei Zhao the forthcoming Routledge Handbook of Asian Demography, and is currently studying the links between population, climate change and sustainable development.

When the "orthodox consensus" of the 1950's and early 60's in the United States broke down there followed a period of contraction and fragmentation. Representatives of different theoretical schools or paradigms had little constructive to say about one another's work, and theoretical developments tended to be local and noncumulative. More recently, however, a spirit of openness and cooperation is more evident among theorists, and a number of works have appeared emphasizing theoretical integration and synthesis (e.g. Alexander, 1982-83; Bernstein, 1976; Collins, 1975, Giddens, 1984; Habermas, 1981; Loubser, et al., 1976; Seidman, 1983; Turner and Beeghley, 1981; Wallace, 1983; Wiley, 1979). There are major efforts underway to revitalize sociological theory, to transcend narrow parochialisms, and to design theoretical frameworks capable of informing a range of empirical research programs. There is no single strategy which guarantees success here. The endeavor is multidimensional, involving sorting through variables and propositions from heterogeneous sources (e.g. Wallace, 1983), looking for parallel conceptual developments in different traditions (e.g. Lidz and Lidz, 1976), and investigating and reworking the basic presuppositions of major theorists (e.g. Alexander, 1982-83). In this paper I address a single but vital issue, the integration of causal and interpretive approaches in the analysis of action. If the synthesizing trend is to continue to gain momentum it seems essential to me that we should be able to integrate causal and interpretive analyses in common frameworks, and that the mainstream of sociological research become more "hermeneutically informed" in a technically rigorous manner (Giddens, 1976; Haves 1984). I begin by considering the intellectual background to this issue and focus on the idea of presuppositions. This is followed by a discussion of Jeffrey Alexander's work. Then I present a conceptual framework, borrowed with some modification from the philosopher Georg
