William H. Sewell Jr. is the Frank P. Hixon Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science and History at the University of Chicago. He is the author of three previous books, including Work and Revolution in France and A Rhetoric of Bourgeois Revolution.
While social scientists and historians have been exchanging ideas for a long time, they have never developed a proper dialogue about social theory. William H. Sewell Jr. observes that on questions of theory the communication has been mostly one way: from social science to history. Logics of History argues that both history and the social sciences have something crucial to offer each other. While historians do not think of themselves as theorists, they know something social scientists do not: how to think about the temporalities of social life. On the other hand, while social scientists’ treatments of temporality are usually clumsy, their theoretical sophistication and penchant for structural accounts of social life could offer much to historians.
Renowned for his work at the crossroads of history, sociology, political science, and anthropology, Sewell argues that only by combining a more sophisticated understanding of historical time with a concern for larger theoretical questions can a satisfying social theory emerge. In Logics of History, he reveals the shape such an engagement could take, some of the topics it could illuminate, and how it might affect both sides of the disciplinary divide.
我接触休厄尔这本书的时间不算早,之前在课上和其他作品中大致知道了一些这本书中的观点。后来写毕业论文时又找来翻过了一遍,以求能寻找一些灵感。中译本出来时很是兴奋,但读过第一章后,觉得这本书的翻译暂时没有符合我原有的期待。 不过先要肯定两位译者非常用心。凡是做过...
评分Sewell这本书的主要目的是想把结构和行动带到一块去,把“文化”和“社会”带到一块去,以及最终是要把社会科学家和有人文学科倾向的历史学家带到一块去。他对“文化”和“结构”的理解,以及他对于事件史方法的应用,其实遵循的都是同一个思路。 不过上面那些我之前基本都已...
评分 评分看到mujun这么评论这本书:Sewell对于文化、社会、事件、结构等概念的理解一脉相承。弄明白一个基本也就搞清楚他的思路了。他并不是要给这些概念再提出一套自己的理论,只是要为那些想把“文化”和“社会史”写到一起去,想把“结构”和“行动”写到一起去的人提供一套切实可行...

不同学科的人对这本书的评价很不一样,跟与这本书有关的学术史有关,也跟各学科方法和材料-立论-分析之间的度有关。如何理解和评价是个有些意思的话题。|休爷您就不能不那么罗嗦么?完全可以化约节省至少四分之一的篇幅也讲得清诶
评分Sewell的总结能力太好了,像个编字典的人(虽然好奇为什么全书没引一个Latour) . 喜欢他对Charles Tilly和Marshall Sahlins的解读,尤其是后者,Islands of History如当头一棒
评分六到九章只是粗讀了一下。一個歷史學家寫出(據說是)美國社會學引用第28高的論文(本書第四章),歎為觀止。
评分强推,前两章的社会史/新文化史综述,对cultural turn的反思以及自己的dual structure的概念建构都值得认真反思,最后提出的return of social也是我希望踏足的领域
