Methodology refers to the general reflection on how science is and can be done to what kinds of effects.
Methods are the systematic arrangements for gathering and presenting observations.
It is abvious that all three levels include conceptual and empirical perspectives. Children, cities, and psychological theories. Ernst Boesch's action theory for cultural psychology is presented articulating the dilemma of achieving an observationally adequate description of what happens in and between persons in culture and keeping to the game of modern science of presenting their reference field by a system of invariable scientific concepts. Boesch is shown to give primacy to what he can observe in the real world with his admirable sensibility for the total pattern of things pertinent. However, this inevitably forces him to dissolve the concepts appropriated from action theory and elaborated with related systems of thought.
