Philip S. Gorski is a professor of sociology at Yale University.
Philip S. Gorski (Ph.D. University of California, Berkeley 1996) is a comparative-historical sociologist with strong interests in theory and methods and in modern and early modern Europe. His empirical work focuses on topics such as state-formation, nationalism, revolution, economic development and secularization with particular attention to the interaction of religion and politics. Other current interests include the philosophy and methodology of the social sciences and the nature and role of rationality in social life. Among his recent publications are The Disciplinary Revolution: Calvinism and the Growth of State Power in Early Modern Europe (Chicago, 2003); Max Weber’s Economy and Society: A Critical Companion (Stanford, 2004); and “The Poverty of Deductivism: A Constructive Realist Model of Sociological Explanation,” Sociological Methodology, 2004.
What explains the rapid growth of state power in early modern Europe? While most scholars have pointed to the impact of military or capitalist revolutions, Philip S. Gorski argues instead for the importance of a disciplinary revolution unleashed by the Reformation. By refining and diffusing a variety of disciplinary techniques and strategies, such as communal surveillance, control through incarceration, and bureaucratic office-holding, Calvin and his followers created an infrastructure of religious governance and social control that served as a model for the rest of Europe—and the world.

评分作者的寫作文風倒真的是非常美國:一二三四點一點一點講,每章intro總結一遍結尾再總結一遍。
评分一刷。
评分解釋歐洲近代國傢形成的宗教動力。新教倫理為國傢的科層製度和基層社會治理注入強勁動力。這就是為什麼新教國傢如英國、荷蘭、瑞典和普魯士會興起成為17-18世紀西歐重要的政治力量。本書優點在於視角新穎,提齣瞭國傢形成研究中除馬剋思主義視角、新韋伯視角(地緣政治競爭導緻國傢形成)另外一種解釋路徑--從宗教角度理解國傢的興起。遺憾的是,本文對於新教如何導緻國傢強大的分析並非精緻,很多地方隻是粗略帶過,有牽強之嫌。
评分首吹中文翻譯,宗教部分看的腦殼疼還沒太懂,整偏邏輯脈絡非常清晰,想按照這個模式寫篇論文(我在鬍說什麼)
