The essays in this collection, on stratification, organization and
the discipline of sociology, all bear upon a general theoretical
question: what models of rationality are necessary or suitable to
explain individual and collective action in institutional contexts?
Professor Stinchcombe was one of the first sociologists to write on
this question; and this collection includes a new essay which takes
account of recent work done in the tradition Stinchcombe did much
to institute. The first group of essays - on class, stratification
and mobility - addresses core problems of the discipline and offers
imaginative conceptualizations with interesting empirical
consequences. The second section - essays on the sociology of
organizations - displays, like the first, Stinchcombe??'s wide
knowledge of sociological traditions from structuralism to Marxism.
The final section, ???comments on the discipline???, deepens the
readers understanding of sociological theorizing by presenting
different modes of analysis of universities and research
institutions and providing challenging, and often funny, insights
into the subject.
