Abstract
In a brief discussion of some of the issues concerning the nature of social psychology which have been raised in recent articles by Gergen, Schlenker, Manis, and Thorngate, it is argued that there is a view about the nature of social psychology which takes advantage of and to some extent reconciles both Gergen's arguments for social psychology as history and Schlenker's argu ments for social psychology as science.Keywords
