The Impossible Science: An Institutional Analysis of American Sociology (SAGE Library of Social Research) Book
The authors point to the accidents of the historical development of American sociology to explain:} why American sociology is structured the way it is} why it is so diverse and lacking in unifying paradigms} why its research agenda is broad yet eclectic} why it is weak as an institutional force in both academia and policy making.They emphasize the equivocal, often contradictory missions sociologists prescribe for themselves. They delineate the limitations imposed by the variable nature of human, financial and intellectual resources available to the discipline as the key shaping and limiting forces.Tracing the history of the field since the Civil War, they chronicle its development and what this genesis means for the future of the discipline. Their prognosis should be of interest to all in the field.Read More
