In this history of the Chicago School of Sociology, Andrew Abbott investigates central topics in the emergence of modern scholarship, paying special attention to "schools of science" and how such schools reproduce themselves over time. What are the preconditions from which schools arise? Do they exist as rigid rules or as flexible structures? How do they emerge from the day-to-day activities of academic life such as editing journals and writing papers? Abbott analyzes the shifts in social scientific inquiry and discloses the intellectual rivalry and faculty politics that characterized different stages of the Chicago School. Along the way, he traces the rich history of the discipline's main journal, the "American Journal of Sociology". Embedded in this analysis of the school and its practices is a broader theoretical argument, which Abbott uses to redefine social objects as a sequence of interconnected events rather than as fixed entities. Abbott's theories grow directly out of the Chicago School's insistence that social life be located in time and place, a tradition that has been at the heart of the school since its founding 100 years ago.

係統追溯瞭所謂“芝加哥社會學派”,芝大社會學係和American Journal of Sociology雜誌社的發展史。有意思的發現很多,其中一個是所謂“芝加哥城市理論”和“芝加哥學派”的概念並不産生於帕剋等人最活躍的二戰前年代。這些概念的內涵是在二戰後新一代芝大學者間反復辯論/商討/挖掘學派傳統的過程中被明晰和確立的。從這個角度來說,作者是在用經典芝加哥學派的分析框架(即采納並發展瞭以互動和過程為本的人文生態學視角)來研究芝加哥學派的興起。
