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.

太棒瞭這本書。雖然是寫給本科生看的,但是拿來給博士班做入門方法論都足夠。個人非常推崇。如果隻能看一本研究方法的書,就素Abbott瞭!
評分作者功力很高,讀起來有時候感覺像在讀詩一樣,很條理,很享受。
評分clear and witty, A must read.
評分讀瞭一半,剩下不知何時待補(其實閱讀體驗還不錯
評分Abbott真的是很會寫書瞭,能把methods寫得這麼有意思的人有點少。
