This third volume of the Selected Papers of Edward Shils brings
together ten essays, three of which have never been published
before and all the others of which have been completely revised and
elaborated. They deal with the history of American and European
sociology as an intellectual undertaking and as a means to the
attainment of practical ends. Professor Shils's main themes are the
influence of ethical and practical intentions on scholarly study in
the social sciences, the autonomy of the intellectual tradition of
sociology, and the significance of the institutional organization
of sociological teaching and research.
