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.
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...

評分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...

评分六到九章隻是粗讀瞭一下。一個歷史學傢寫齣(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。
评分比一般的人類學教材受用多瞭,內容和用詞也比較平易近人,
