This book is a concise intellectual biography of Harold Garfinkel,
a key figure in 20th-century social science. Garfinkel is
practically synonymous with ethnomethodology, an approach that
since the 1960s has led to major analytic and methodological
developments in sociology and other disciplines. This introduction
to Garfinkel explores how he developed ethnomethodology under the
influence of Talcott Parsons and Alfred Schutz, situates it within
sociology generally, and demonstrates its important influence on
recent developments in the discipline, particularly the sociology
of science and technology, gender studies, organization studies,
and the computer sciences. The book will be of wide interest in the
social sciences and a useful supplement to courses on intellectual
history and methodology.
