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這麼評論這本書:Sewell對於文化、社會、事件、結構等概念的理解一脈相承。弄明白一個基本也就搞清楚他的思路瞭。他並不是要給這些概念再提齣一套自己的理論,隻是要為那些想把“文化”和“社會史”寫到一起去,想把“結構”和“行動”寫到一起去的人提供一套切實可行...
評分 評分Sewell這本書的主要目的是想把結構和行動帶到一塊去,把“文化”和“社會”帶到一塊去,以及最終是要把社會科學傢和有人文學科傾嚮的曆史學傢帶到一塊去。他對“文化”和“結構”的理解,以及他對於事件史方法的應用,其實遵循的都是同一個思路。 不過上麵那些我之前基本都已...
評分 評分去年聽Sewell講這本理論書,比看著要過癮。一個曆史學傢,要寫這樣的書,需要勇氣。當然不能強迫彆的曆史學傢都去讀這本書,有人可能不屑一顧。那麼就推薦給學生看吧! 一年級曆史博士生絕對要讀,原因主要有二。1)Sewell把20世紀美、英、法史學界的重要發展脈絡歸納得再清楚...

這本算是告一段落瞭,以後有需要再看~
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,
評分真是曆史研究者必讀,雖然作者是通過挖掘某些史學研究中埋藏的閃光點來把社會學傢拉到曆史(event)那邊去,但是最該讀的還是研究曆史的人。對於中文學術世界裏麵徹底無視理論的經驗主義研究者,和鬍亂使用“結構”、"文化"這種社科詞匯有著正本清源的作用。
評分:無
