| Résumé : |
Alvin W. Gouldner’s new work is a magisterial, critical investigation of the intellectual traditions that now dominate sociology in the United States and Western Europe. It also provides a searching analysis of the Marxist sociological tradition and it opens the way to a new and more relevant conception of sociological theory and sociological research.
In addition to explaining in a highly original wat, the historical and social roots of prevailing sociological doctrines, Professor Gouldner explores how sociology in recent years has been shaped and shaken by such influences as the Welfare State and the New Left. This is a study of sociological context of sociology itself. It gives an exciting insight into how, as this context changes, sociological studies will themselves be transformed. |
