Why should the sociologist concern himself with time? asks Franco
Ferrarotti in his latest work. Temporality is, he argues, the
essential fluid dimension in the study of the social. Including
time as a factor in sociological analysis is the only way to
reintroduce the dynamic moment of social reality as a mental
construct into an analytical process otherwise reified by the
limits of quantitative methods. Ultimately, Ferrarotti contends,
the usual way of laying out and proceeding with sociological
analysis must be decisively inverted. This book is challenging
reading for the sociologist and philosopher alike. Why should the

moment of social reality as a mental construct into an analytical
process otherwise reified by the limits of quantitative methods.
The biographical and autobiographical approaches are also rooted in
time. They elicit a problematic human situation and distinguish
radically between the technical problem, resolvable through the
exact practical application of a given, ideally indifferent, and
interchangable formula, and the human dimension. Ultimately,
Ferrarotti contends, the usual way of laying out and proceeding
with sociological analysis must be decisively inverted. The order
of priorities in the research process now followed in the human
sciences tends to encourage the loss of the sense of the problem
through the crude postulation of technical and human problems as
equivalent. Time, Memory, and Society will be challenging, thought
provoking reading for the sociologist, social theorist, and
philosopher.
