Sažetak
We discuss the field of formal, in particular computational methods to study social conflict, in order to approximate the Weberian notion of verstehen. While traditional theoretical distinctions, such as structuralist and interactionalist approaches, can be revealed in classical formal methods, agent-based modeling can be couched in such terms as complexity, analytical sociology, and critical realism. The self-understanding of these research traditions – methodologically as well as theoretically – might be able to induce impulses to orthodox conflict research's research designs and might also shed light onto the nature of the generative processes related to social conflict. So far such promises remain under-explored.
