THE SOCIOLOGICAL TRADITION

Book ID/图书代码： 13B61266

English Summary/英文概要： When first published, The Sociological Tradition had a profound and positive impact on sociology, providing a rich sense of intellectual background to a relatively new discipline in America. Robert Nisbet describes what he considers the golden age of sociology, 1830-1900, outlining five major themes of nineteenth-century sociologists: community, authority, status, the sacred, and alienation. Nisbet focuses on sociology’s European heritage, delineating the arguments of Tocqueville, Marx, Durkheim, and Weber in new and revealing ways.

When the book initially appeared, the Times Literary Supplement noted that "this thoughtful and lucid guide shows more clearly than any previous book on social thought the common threads in the sociological tradition and the reasons why so many of its central concepts have stood the test of time." And Lewis Coser, writing in the New York Times Book Review, claimed that "this lucidly written and elegantly argued volume should go a long way toward laying to rest the still prevalent idea that sociology is an upstart discipline, unconcerned with, and alien to, the major intellectual currents of the modern world."

Its clear and comprehensive analysis of the origins of this discipline ensures The Sociological Tradition a permanent place in the literature on sociology and its origins. It will be of interest to those interested in sociological theory, the history of social thought, and the history of ideas. Indeed, as Alasdair Maclntyre observed: "We are unlikely to be given a better book to explain to us the inheritance of sociology from the conservative tradition."

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《社会学的传统》第一次出版时已经在社会学中有着积极而深远的影响，为美国的一个相对较新的学科提供了一个丰富的知识背景。罗伯特•尼斯比特描述了他认为的社会学的黄金时代——1830-1900，概述了19世纪社会学的五大主题：社会，权力，地位，宗教和异化。他侧重于社会学的欧洲遗产，以新的和富有启发式的方式描述了托克维尔，马克思，涂尔干和韦伯的论点。

当这本书最初问世时，泰晤士报文学增刊指出，“这本周到和清晰的指南在展示社会学的传统和为什么如此多的中心概念经受住了时间的考验的原因方面比以往任何一本关于社会思想共同点的书都要清晰。“路易斯•科泽在纽约时报的书评中写道“这本通俗易懂和高雅地引起争论的书要推翻依然普遍存在的认为社会学是突然出现的学科，毫不关心，陌生，是现代世界的主要知识流的观念还有很长的一段路要走。”

本书对这门学科的起源做了明确和全面的分析，这使得《社会学的传统》在社会学及其起源的著作中有永恒的地位。那些对社会学理论，社会思想史和思想史感兴趣的人将会对这本书感兴趣。事实上，正如阿拉斯代尔•麦金太尔说：“我们不太可能会得到一本更好的书向我们从保守的传统方面解释社会学的继承。”(LNL)

Awards/获奖情况：这本书是对社会学传统的发展的一个很好的介绍，推荐对19世纪的智慧史有兴趣的人阅读。尼斯比特的书是对H•斯图亚特•休斯的《意识和社会》和雷蒙德•威廉姆斯的《文化和社会：1780-1950》的一个很好的补充。尼斯比特的书在阐明了19世纪社会思想的核心概念时没有假设（如休斯一样）读者对思想家们的作品已经相当精通。

This book is an excellent introduction to the development of the sociological tradition and is also recommended reading for anyone interested in nineteenth-century intellectual history. Nisbet’s book would be an excellent complement to H. Stuart Hughes’ CONCIOUSNESS AND SOCIETY and Raymond Williams’ CULTURE AND SOCIETY: 1780-1950. Nisbet’s book clarifies key concepts of nineteenth-century social thought without assuming (as Hughes does) that the reader is already fully versed in the works of the thinkers he examines.
