Sorokin and Civilization is a festschrift to Pitirim Sorokin, one
of the most famed figures of twentieth-century sociology and first
president of the International Society for the Comparative Study of
Civilizations (ISCSC). He was a giant of the twentieth-century
stage in the larger world as well. He debated with Trotsky,
exchanged ideas with Pavlov, and received a personal invitation to
meet with President Masaryk of Czechoslovakia. His principled
dissent from sociological orthodoxy frequently anticipated that of
Charles Wright Mills, Alfred McClung Lee, and Alexander
Solzhenitsyn. He was, to paraphrase Joseph Ford, a scholar among
statesmen and a statesman among scholars. The volume is divided
into four parts: "A Life Remembered"; "Sorokin as Gadfly";
"Sorokin's Methodology"; and, "Applying Sorokin's Theories."
Contributors and chapters to this volume include: "Sorokin's Life
and Work" by Barry V. Johnston; "The Sorokin-Merton Correspondence
on Puritanism, Pietism, and Science" by Robert K. Merton; "Sorokin
and American Sociology: The Dynamics of a Moral Career in Science"
by Lawrence T. Nichols; "Sorokin as Dialectician" by Robert C.
Hanson; "Applying Sorokin's Typology" by Michel P. Richard; and
"Transitions, Revolutions, and Wars" by William Eckhardt. Sorokin
and Civilization will appeal to all those with an interest in
cultural and historical processes and the life and theories of
Sorokin.
