This volume brings together some of the biggest names in the field
of sociology to celebrate the work of Pitirim A. Sorokin, professor
and founder of the department of sociology at Harvard University.
Sorokin, a past president of the American Sociological Association,
was a pioneer in many fields of research, including sociological
theory, social philosophy, methodology, and sociology of science,
law, art, and knowledge. Edward A. Tiryakian's updated introduction
examines major factors, inside and outside sociology, that have led
to new appreciation of Sorokin's contributions and scholarship, and
demonstrates their continued relevance. This new edition also
includes an updated bibliography of works by and about Sorokin. The
volume includes Arthur K. Davis, who describes Sorokin's importance
as a teacher in the Socratic tradition. Talcott Parsons examines
internal differentiation in Christianity in its historical Western
development. Thomas O'Dea deals with the institutionalization of
religious values. Walter Firey examines how actors relate their
conception of a distant future to their present behavior. Florence
Kluckhohn focuses upon the problem of cultural variations within a
social system. Robert K. Merton and Elinor Barber examine the
sociological aspect of ambivalence. Bernard Barber considers the
American business's efforts to institutionalize professionalism.
Other contributors include Charles P. Loomis, Wilbert E. Moore,
Georges Gurvitch, Marion J. Levy, Jr., Nicholas S. Timasheff, Carle
Zimmerman, and Logan Wilson. This volume is an essential collection
of essays concerning the work of one of the most prominent thinkers
in twentieth-century sociology.
