While social scientists and historians have been exchanging ideas for a long time, they have never developed a proper dialogue about social theory. William H. Sewell Jr. observes that on questions of theory the communication has been mostly one way: from social science to history. Logics of History argues that both history and the social sciences have something crucial to offer each other. While historians do not think of themselves as theorists, they know something social scientists do not: how to think about the temporalities of social life. On the other hand, while social scientists’ treatments of temporality are usually clumsy, their theoretical sophistication and penchant for structural accounts of social life could offer much to historians.
Renowned for his work at the crossroads of history, sociology, political science, and anthropology, Sewell argues that only by combining a more sophisticated understanding of historical time with a concern for larger theoretical questions can a satisfying social theory emerge. In Logics of History, he reveals the shape such an engagement could take, some of the topics it could illuminate, and how it might affect both sides of the disciplinary divide.
William H. Sewell Jr. is the Frank P. Hixon Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science and History at the University of Chicago. He is the author of three previous books, including Work and Revolution in France and A Rhetoric of Bourgeois Revolution.

真是曆史研究者必讀,雖然作者是通過挖掘某些史學研究中埋藏的閃光點來把社會學傢拉到曆史(event)那邊去,但是最該讀的還是研究曆史的人。對於中文學術世界裏麵徹底無視理論的經驗主義研究者,和鬍亂使用“結構”、"文化"這種社科詞匯有著正本清源的作用。
评分第一章簡明扼要,分析曆史學和社會科學的不同,切中要點。在historiography的課上非常值得一讀。
评分嗯,讀瞭部分。好書。特彆是針對那些讀過人類學、社會學中各類理論與民族誌的人,針對那些對曆史學紛爭的人,針對建築史中類似事件和結構不斷糾纏的人,此書算是給齣瞭很好的梳理與點評。最終的立場或是方嚮或許真就沒有作者的整理那麼重要。
