Andrew Abbott is Professor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Chicago. He is the author, most recently, of Chaos of Disciplines and Time Matters: On Theory and Method, both from the University of Chicago Press. The recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, Professor Abbott has written and lectured widely on occupations and professions, social science methods, social theory, and the history of the Chicago School of Sociology.
Methods of Discovery is organized around strategies for deepening arguments in order to find the best ways to study social phenomena. This exciting book is not about the mechanics of doing social science research, but about habits of thinking that enable students to use those mechanics in new ways, by coming up with new ideas and combining them more effectively with old ones. Examples from throughout the social sciences help show how these moves can open new lines of thinking. Each chapter covers several moves and their reverses (if these exist), discussing particular examples of the move as well as its logical and theoretical structure. This book offers readers a new way of thinking about directions for their research and new ways to imagine information relevant to their research problems.

Abbott的作品總有很強的樂理性
评分clear and witty, A must read.
评分比起莫頓的好讀好多啊……但是讀兩章下來還是很辛苦……爭取能讀完整本。
评分作者功力很高,讀起來有時候感覺像在讀詩一樣,很條理,很享受。
评分讀者的福氣。社科各門各派的爭論娓娓道來。認知論上下的功夫很大,啓發式方法對社科科研者會有很大啓發,而論述門派彆見時用的例子也是不錯的拓寬知識的途徑。缺點是重復比較多,偏功用主義,沒有注意莫裏斯語言三大類應用到社科科研中的動態性質(而略帶諷刺的是作者其實在narrative heuristics其中提到過靜態轉動的重要性),舉例相對比較老,沒有涉及前沿社科研究。
