This book reintroduces the work of Robert K. Merton as a bridge
between classical sociology and modern sociology. Founded in the
sociological classics but developing a modern approach to the
advancement of theory and research methodology, Merton's thought
helped to construct modern sociology in its coverage of many of the
social institutional areas of contemporary society. Recovering and
analysing the system of 'structural analysis', which Merton
progressively developed - a system largely overlooked due to the
tendency among commentators to stereotype him as a 'functionalist'
- the author considers the applications of this approach to various
substantive fields, particularly science and criminal justice, and
examines the effect of Merton's later 'sociological semantics' on
his overall schema. A clear and accessible presentation of the
array of concepts introduced by Merton to sociology, Reintroducing
Robert K. Merton will appeal to scholars and students with
interests in sociological theory, social research, the history of
sociology and the various substantive areas covered in the work of
Merton - deviance, science, and communications.
