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.
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...
評分除了吐槽之外,我还是再写点正经的吧。 ff老师说这本书对于她的启发在于,要去寻找历史事件发生背后的结构。刚才看到笔记人老师说,这本书对于他的意义主要在于,历史学家能从人类学家那里学到什么。但对我来说,这本书的价值在于给那些通过不同的途径生产出来的知识找一个各...
評分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...
評分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...
評分William Sewell traces the rise of positivism and quantification in social history of American academia. Social historians asked new questions about new categories of people with new forms of evidence. Thus a gold mine of documentation arose, including recor...

评分方法論。曆史學傢能從社會學傢和人類學傢那裏學到什麼?social/cultural history又是什麼?
评分Chapter 3,4,5,6
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。
评分不同學科的人對這本書的評價很不一樣,跟與這本書有關的學術史有關,也跟各學科方法和材料-立論-分析之間的度有關。如何理解和評價是個有些意思的話題。|休爺您就不能不那麼羅嗦麼?完全可以化約節省至少四分之一的篇幅也講得清誒
