Andrew Abbott is the Gustavus F. and Ann M. Swift Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Sociology and the College at the University of Chicago. Abbott took his BA (in history and literature) at Harvard in 1970 and his PhD (in sociology) from the University of Chicago in 1982. Prior to his return to Chicago in 1991, he taught for thirteen years at Rutgers University.
Known for his ecological theories of occupations, Abbott has also pioneered algorithmic analysis of social sequence data. He has written on the foundations of social science methodology and on the evolution of the social sciences and the academic system. He is the author of five books and seventy articles and chapters.
His work includes The System of Professions (Chicago 1988), a theoretical analysis of the professions and their development that won the ASA's Sorokin Award in 1991. More recent books include a historical study of academic disciplines and publication (Department and Discipline [Chicago 1999]) and a theoretical analysis of fractal patterns in social and cultural structures Chaos of Disciplines [Chicago 2001]). Abbott has also published a collection of theoretical essays in the Chicago pragmatist and ecological tradition (Time Matters [Chicago 2001]) and a short introduction to heuristics in the social sciences (Methods of Discovery [Norton 2004]).

In this new study, Andrew Abbott presents a fresh and daring analysis of the evolution and development of the social sciences. "Chaos of Disciplines" reconsiders how knowledge actually changes and advances. Challenging the accepted belief that social sciences are in a perpetual state of progress, Abbott contends that disciplines instead cycle around an inevitable pattern of core principles. New schools of thought, then, are less a reaction to an established order than they are a reinvention of fundamental concepts. "Chaos of Disciplines" uses fractals to explain the patterns of disciplines, and then applies them to key debates that surround the social sciences. Abbott argues that knowledge in different disciplines is organized by common oppositions that function at any level of theoretical or methodological scale. Opposing perspectives of thought and method, then, in fields ranging from history, sociology and literature, become radically similar, much like fractals, they are each mutual reflections of their own distinctions.

很奇妙，樂感很強的一本書。整本書所討論的核心現象(fractal distinction)與章節排布都像巴洛剋音樂一樣。前五章構成瞭一個相當緊湊精緻的主題(1.提齣社會科學領域中的fractal distinction現象；2-4.三個intellectual mechanism層麵的獨立個案; 5. social structure層麵的闡釋)，第六、七章則是野心更大的變奏。個人最喜歡第五章、第七章、尾聲。
评分看完一臉問號。。
评分除瞭Ab寫書經常掉書袋以外，fractal distinction二元分化知識演進模型著實酷炫，和CS中的decision tree異麯同工，談跨學科和建構主義時非常精妙。隻不過將同樣的模型放入社會結構和組織分析的第六七章實在太抽象太縹緲瞭，缺乏實證研究支持討論，沒能讀懂 M
评分看完一臉問號。。
评分討論理論分形的方式，路數相當奇特，層次相當豐富。第一章正文勉強能理解，腳注就飄瞭。著重看瞭3&5.（04年MOD簡要覆蓋瞭這本些許內容；今年社會理論學報第一期是田老師訪談他，但一看社係官網居然停刊瞭...；這本居然一看看瞭半年...）
