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.
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.
我一开始对社会学产生极大的兴趣——想来可能同很多其他社会学学生一样——是上本科理论课读韦伯齐美尔一摩尔经典理论家让我脑洞大开,觉得他们既能极好的勾勒出从传统社会到现代社会的变迁,又能极犀利地铺陈出对现代社会的反思和批判。这种求知的兴趣往往到了当代理论就遇到...
评分May be summarized as follows: culture, I have argued, should be understood as a dialectic of system and practice, as a dimension of social life autonomous from other such dimensions both in its logic and in its spatial configuration, and as possessing a rea...
评分去年听Sewell讲这本理论书,比看着要过瘾。一个历史学家,要写这样的书,需要勇气。当然不能强迫别的历史学家都去读这本书,有人可能不屑一顾。那么就推荐给学生看吧! 一年级历史博士生绝对要读,原因主要有二。1)Sewell把20世纪美、英、法史学界的重要发展脉络归纳得再清楚...
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...

评分这本算是告一段落了,以后有需要再看~
评分方法论。历史学家能从社会学家和人类学家那里学到什么?social/cultural history又是什么?
