abstract = "The purpose of this paper is to argue for clarity of
methodology in social science simulation. Simulation is
now at a stage in the social sciences where it is
important to be clear why simulation should be used and
what it is intended to achieve. The paper goes on to
discuss a particularly important source of opposition
to simulation in the social sciences which arises from
perceived threats to the orthodox hard-core. This is
illustrated by way of a couple of case studies. The
paper then goes on to discuss defences to standard
criticisms of simulation and the various positive
reasons for using simulation in preference to other
methods of theorising in particular situations.",
