摘要:

AbstractThis paper argues that the influence of evolutionary theory on the sociology of Vilfredo Pareto has been generally misunderstood or overlooked, largely on account of Pareto's own contemptuous rejection of “finalist” Darwinian evolution. But the sources of Pareto's evolutionary ideas were French, not English. Neo‐Lamarckian notions of inheritance and the related concept of degeneration helped support Pareto's explanation of social evolution, especially as it is developed in his early sociological works. Understanding these influences helps explain Pareto's peculiarly pessimistic account of the mechanism of social change in modern so

摘要:

AbstractThe early history of Harvard sociology is closely entwined with the careers and personalities of Pitirim Sorokin and Talcott Parsons. The processes and conditions that led to Parsons's rise and Sorokin's decline are essential to understanding the development of Harvard sociology. Edward Tiryakian's work on theory schools and hegemonic traditions in the social sciences is a useful framework for analyzing and discussing these developments. Following Tiryakian, one can simultaneously trace the operating factors in Sorokin's failure to achieve lasting power and the development of a Parsonian sociology which would vie for hegemony in the discipline. Personality, milieu, forms of theorizing, and sociology's movement toward maturation are keys to the major changes in Harvard sociology during the 1940s. Analysis of this case deepens understanding of the conditions that contribute to the emergence of important intellectual traditions.

摘要:

AbstractDespite a resurgence of interest in Durkheim, insufficient attention has been directed toward his social morphology. The result is an underestimation of the role of history in his sociology and conception of unified science. The author argues that from the earliest stages of his intellectual career Durkheim displayed a sensitivity to the value of historical investigation for social explanation. This interest, reflecting various influences in the intellectual milieux of his time, varied among three distinct historical perspectives and methodological frameworks: the comparative, the evolutionary, and the developmental. Differentiating the three approaches counteracts the tendency among interpreters to collapse all three into the evolutionary framework alone.

摘要:

AbstractJevons contributed to a second “revolution” in economics (Adam Smith's being the first) hoping thereby to make it an “exact” science, by mathematizing the subject and substituting marginal utility theory for the labor theory of value. Yet he also conceived of economics as a moral science, and tried to defend this claim on Utilitarian grounds. An examination of his personal, or “second,” life, however, shows a deeper aspect to his aspirations, where he extrapolates from his own struggles a prescription for human behavior in the economic realm, and then treats that prescriptive behavior as based on “natural” and “assum

摘要:

AbstractThe source and nature of the ethnography of the important eighteenth century thinker Johann Gottfried Herder can in large part be understood through his relationship to his own society and especially through his part in the German cultural nationalist movement of the day. Herder's long involvement with the literature of travel led him to an understanding of many ideas now associated with cultural anthropology; he often recounts ethnographic information in a plain and impartial way. He also gives frequent moral judgements of native cultures. These judgements, often favorable and occasionally negative, may be traced to his announced political sympathies.

摘要:

AbstractThe Scottish Enlightenment spawned a uniquely psychological philosophy grounded in pre‐Darwinian conceptions of natural fitness and post‐Newtonian natural laws. Richly anticipating the developments of the nineteenth century, major Scottish philosophical psychologists pressed for an experimental science of the mind stripped of traditional metaphysical suppositions. But in imparting to a new “scientific” psychology just these attributes, the same influential writers underestimated the ontological complexities of the subject and thus the questionable fitness of the Newtonian model in relation to a science of human
