Goldthorpe reveals the genealogy of present-day sociological
science through studies of the key contributions made by seventeen
pioneers in the field, ranging from John Graunt and Edmond Halley
in the mid-seventeenth century to Otis Dudley Duncan, James Coleman
and Raymond Boudon in the late twentieth. Goldthorpe's biographies
of these figures and analyses of their work reveal clear lines of
intellectual descent, building towards the author's model of
sociology as the study of human populations across time and place,
previously outlined in his book Sociology as a Population Science
(Cambridge, 2015). The extent to which recent developments such as
computational sociology and analytical sociology are in
continuation with the efforts of these influential thinkers is also
critically examined. Pioneers of Sociological Science will appeal
to students and scholars of sociology and to anyone engaged in
social science research, from statisticians to social historians.
