This volume forms part of a series of publications on leading
contemporary sociologists. The work of each scholar chosen, in this
case John Goldthorpe, is internationally recognized, is still
relevant to the core of the discipline in the 1990s, is extensive
and thematic in coverage and is, at one and the same time,
consensus-generating and controversial. The book is divided into
three parts - the first provides a general introduction to
Goldthorpe's work, the second contains nine sets of paired
contributions and one "free-standing" chapter covering the main
themes of Goldthorpe's writings, and the third consists of
Goldthorpe responds to his critics. Goldthorpe concludes with a
Popperian committment to the idea of "Consensus and Controversy",
seeing them as the two modes of communicative action which lie at
the very heart of the scientific method. The volume concludes with
biographical details about the contributors, an outline
intellectual biography of John Goldthorpe and a consolidated
bibliography.
