John Goldthorpe is one of Britain's most eminent sociologists and a
strong advocate of quantitative sociology. In this concise and
accessible book, he provides a new rationale for recent
developments in sociology which focus on establishing and
explaining probabilistic regularities in human populations. Through
these developments, Goldthorpe shows how sociology has become more
securely placed within the 'probabilistic revolution' that has
occurred over the last century in the natural and social sciences
alike. The central arguments of the book are illustrated with
examples from different areas of sociology, ranging from social
stratification and the sociology of the family to the sociology of
revolutions. He concludes by considering the implications of these
arguments for the proper boundaries of sociology, for its relations
with other disciplines, and for its public role.
