Sociology began as a historical discipline, created by Marx, Weber and others, to explain the emergence and consequences of rational, capitalist society. Today, the best historical sociology combines precision in theory-construction with the careful selection of appropriate methodologies to address ongoing debates across a range of subfields.
This innovative book explores what sociologists gain by treating temporality seriously, what we learn from placing social relations and events in historical context. In a series of chapters, readers will see how historical sociologists have addressed the origins of capitalism, revolutions and social movements, empires and states, inequality, gender and culture. The goal is not to present a comprehensive history of historical sociology; rather, readers will encounter analyses of exemplary works and see how authors engaged past debates and their contemporaries in sociology, history and other disciplines to advance our understanding of how societies are created and remade across time.
This illuminating book is designed for use in graduate and advanced undergraduate courses as an introduction to historical sociology and as a guide to employing historical analysis across the discipline.
拉师。可以直接拿来设计成一门课。说实话我对是否应该这样理解和组织历史社会学是有保留的。但不得不说文献选得很有品位,归纳也举重若轻,真的见功力。
评分作者学识和人品皆属一流(已有两部中译作品),但这本为入门者写的小册子略显平淡,缺乏惊喜。看第一章本想打三颗星,但后面的实质性章节流畅丰满许多,四星名副其实。但还是没到来回踱步爱不释手的地步。(这也是作者属一流而非超一流的原因吧。)
评分很好的入门型作品。Lachmann在这本书里的特点一方面是每个主题在论述时将以其为自变量和因变量的研究都囊括其中,因而有时略显散乱、有时又不乏精当之处,但厉害就在于最后总能圆回来,每一章节的结尾都比较自然;另一方面是突出历史社会学与其他研究取向比较之下的优长,既是描述、也是辩护。

评分结构混乱,历史社会学到底是谁什么、怎么来的,没解释清楚。第六章以后几无必要。第134页John Mill写成John Mills,难道现在国外已没有人读Mill的书了吗?批评世界体系理论没有解释国家在世界体系中的位置何以改变,也无法解释某个国家何以成为霸权国家、并何以走向衰落。不懂这个评价是如何得出来的。世界体系理论最厉害的地方不就是回答这些问题吗?何以就不能解释了?至少从周期理论解释了霸权的兴衰。
