In this new study, Andrew Abbott presents a fresh and daring analysis of the evolution and development of the social sciences. "Chaos of Disciplines" reconsiders how knowledge actually changes and advances. Challenging the accepted belief that social sciences are in a perpetual state of progress, Abbott contends that disciplines instead cycle around an inevitable pattern of core principles. New schools of thought, then, are less a reaction to an established order than they are a reinvention of fundamental concepts. "Chaos of Disciplines" uses fractals to explain the patterns of disciplines, and then applies them to key debates that surround the social sciences. Abbott argues that knowledge in different disciplines is organized by common oppositions that function at any level of theoretical or methodological scale. Opposing perspectives of thought and method, then, in fields ranging from history, sociology and literature, become radically similar, much like fractals, they are each mutual reflections of their own distinctions.
Andrew Abbott is the Gustavus F. and Ann M. Swift Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Sociology and the College at the University of Chicago. Abbott took his BA (in history and literature) at Harvard in 1970 and his PhD (in sociology) from the University of Chicago in 1982. Prior to his return to Chicago in 1991, he taught for thirteen years at Rutgers University.
Known for his ecological theories of occupations, Abbott has also pioneered algorithmic analysis of social sequence data. He has written on the foundations of social science methodology and on the evolution of the social sciences and the academic system. He is the author of five books and seventy articles and chapters.
His work includes The System of Professions (Chicago 1988), a theoretical analysis of the professions and their development that won the ASA's Sorokin Award in 1991. More recent books include a historical study of academic disciplines and publication (Department and Discipline [Chicago 1999]) and a theoretical analysis of fractal patterns in social and cultural structures Chaos of Disciplines [Chicago 2001]). Abbott has also published a collection of theoretical essays in the Chicago pragmatist and ecological tradition (Time Matters [Chicago 2001]) and a short introduction to heuristics in the social sciences (Methods of Discovery [Norton 2004]).
看完一脸问号。。
评分除了Ab写书经常掉书袋以外,fractal distinction二元分化知识演进模型着实酷炫,和CS中的decision tree异曲同工,谈跨学科和建构主义时非常精妙。只不过将同样的模型放入社会结构和组织分析的第六七章实在太抽象太缥缈了,缺乏实证研究支持讨论,没能读懂 M
评分很奇妙,乐感很强的一本书。整本书所讨论的核心现象(fractal distinction)与章节排布都像巴洛克音乐一样。前五章构成了一个相当紧凑精致的主题(1.提出社会科学领域中的fractal distinction现象;2-4.三个intellectual mechanism层面的独立个案; 5. social structure层面的阐释),第六、七章则是野心更大的变奏。个人最喜欢第五章、第七章、尾声。
评分讨论理论分形的方式,路数相当奇特,层次相当丰富。第一章正文勉强能理解,脚注就飘了。着重看了3&5.(04年MOD简要覆盖了这本些许内容;今年社会理论学报第一期是田老师访谈他,但一看社系官网居然停刊了...;这本居然一看看了半年...)
