زندگی و اندیشه بزرگان جامعه شناسی

by Lewis A. Coser, محسن ثلاثی (Translator)

For today's readers to understand the history of sociological theories more is required than a knowledge of formal propositions and theoretical structures. In this impressive and enduring text, Coser elucidates his examination of the ideas of fifteen influential sociological thinkers with a discussion of the social and intellectual circumstances that surrounded them. Each of the first fourteen chapters follows a parallel organization. The first section is a capsule summary of the scholar's work—his main orientations, ideas, and contributions. Next is a short sketch of his life—his struggles and successes; the influences of his family, peers, and superiors; and his involvement in community affairs. The third section locates him and his work in the texture of a particular moment in intellectual history. The concluding section addresses sociological questions such as: What were the social origins of the theorist? Did crucial events (e.g., war, depression, revolution) help fashion his orientations in ways similar to those of others in his generation? The final chapter presents a less-detailed discussion of major American theorists whose theories emerged between the 1940s and 1960s.

یک کتاب کاملا کلاسیک در رشته های علوم اجتماعی.
سه ستاره برای شیوه ی مختصر و مفید ارائه مفاهیم اصلی در آرای هر یک از جامعه‌شناسانی که در کتاب اومده‌ان.
ستاره چهارم به خاطر بخش مربوط به زندگی جامعه‌شناسان که بسیار جالب بود برای من.

[Fatemeh Eftekhari]

بلاخره تموم شد!
و در این چند کلمه چه دردی پنهان است

چند اندیشمند اول کتاب را مباحثه ای خواندیم و چه دورانی بود

[Razieh Shahverdi]

قطعن بعد از گیدنز باید دومین کتاب باشه برای شروع جامعه شناسی.
ترجمه خوبی هم دارد.

[Mohamad Jaber]

a very robust book...the only issue is that there are a myriad of ideas making it challenging. the most enticing are those about marx's theory of alienation and max weber's ideas on the rationalization of post capitalist societies.

[الهام ربیعی]

like it!
حسن بزرگی که دارد این است که فضای اجتماعی و به طور کلی غیرمعرفتی هر متفکر را هم توضیح می دهد

[Saeid SaadatTalab]

به عنوان کتاب درسی معرفی شده بود و قرار بود فقط بخش‌هایی از اندیشه‌ها را بخوانیم. خوشحالم که در روزگاری که کرم کتاب بودم از ابتدا تا انتهای کتاب را خواندم و بعدها فهمیدم از بخش ‌«زندگی‌نامه‌» ها بیش از «اندیشه‌ها» آموختم.

I want to read this book

[Paul Peterson]

A fun and interesting read.

[Alicia Weger]

While this is a good book, you had better keep your dictionary open. The author likes to use off the wall words to make it more confusing then necessary. i did enjoy learning about theorists such as Marx, Weber, and Comte. However, the author jumps all over the place instead of having a logical order to his work.

[Randy Richardson]

This book in hand and a dictionary close by. Chiliastic, really?
