Epistemological problems in sociology have been discussed, but they remain in confusion. This paper tries to arrange epistemological problems and show a clear-cut construction of them. Conclusions are as follows. First, there are three categories into which epistemological problems are classified. They are methodology, baisc ontology, and modes of knowledge. By such a classification, we can find a proper way to discuss epistemological problems. Second, subjectivism and objectivism are integrated in methodology. Thus, we can say that the opposition between antipositivism and positivism is meaningless. Third, subjectivism and objectivism are integrated in basic ontology. Then, we can construct basic ontology which integrates action-centrism and structure-centrism. Forth, various points at issues, with which we are faced when we discuss modes of knowledge, are arranged in a clear cut way. Thereby, we can properly deal with relativism.
