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.

“...a reality previously represented by such religious concepts as Divine Will or Providence”成瞭“過去由諸如神意和天道這類宗教概念主宰的人類身處的現實”@@不得不說,兩個譯者討巧得很……可能要很久纔讀得“完”……不“讀過”就會永遠在讀瞭……
評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。
評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,
評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
