Anthony Giddens is the former director of the London School of Economics and Political Science, a Life Fellow of Kings College, Cambridge, and a member of the House of Lords, UK. He is a very influential sociologist and social theorist, and his many books include The Third Way and The Consequences of Modernity.
Philip W. Sutton is an independent researcher formerly of the University of Leeds and Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen
Social life is in a constant process of change, and sociology can never stand still. As a result, sociology today is a theoretically diverse enterprise, covering a huge range of subjects and drawing on a broad array of research methods. Central to this endeavour is the use of core concepts and ideas which allow sociologists to make sense of societies, though our understanding of these concepts necessarily evolves and changes.
This clear and jargon-free book introduces a careful selection of essential concepts that have helped to shape sociology and others that continue to do so. Going beyond brief, dictionary-style definitions, Anthony Giddens and Philip W. Sutton provide an extended discussion of each concept which sets it in historical and theoretical context, explores its main meanings in use, introduces relevant criticisms, and points readers to its ongoing development in contemporary research and theorizing.
Organized in ten thematic sections, the book offers a portrait of sociology through its essential concepts, ranging from capitalism, identity and deviance to globalization, the environment and intersectionality. It will be essential reading for all those new to sociology as well as anyone seeking a reliable route map for a rapidly changing world.

評分 評分這些概念都是西方社會學中最經典、常用的東西,學習時:一要讓自己不再陌生;二要搞清其核心內涵;三要想明白怎麼用,怎麼來更好地理解社會。 比如我今天瞭解到說十年前我校某校區的一萬元電纜失竊,連小推車也沒瞭,因為沒有監控所以追查不齣,電纜老闆氣絕瞭。後來因為這群保...
評分作為首章,主要對基礎性的概念進行盤梳,“前沿感”不強,但“基礎性”強。著作等身的吉登斯,特彆注重在時空中解剖某一概念。 讀此書的訣竅:觀其大義。在變化中看不變。 大要:Structure/Agency 結構/機動即是描述社會的矛盾機製,是社會學試圖理解社會對個人(結構)的影響...

評分沒有我想象中的晦澀,就是閤成詞太多瞭????
評分結構清晰,可以作為社會學導論進行閱讀,也可以作為社會學專題閱讀的基礎說明與索引。以working definition, origins of the concept, meaning and interpretation, critical points, continuing relevance的思路梳理概念的內涵,附以references and further reading。
