Kurt Wolff has written principally in two veins (in English) for
the last fifty years, 1) on sociology, epistemology (sociology of
knowledge) and the philosophy of sociology; and 2) on the relevance
of his formulation of "surrender and catch" to human experience,
particularly in its cogni tive forms. He published Trying Sociology
in 1974, which contains his writings on sociology, and Surrender
and Catch: Experience and Inquiry Today in 1976, which contains his
writings on surrender-and-catch. In more recent years, he has
published two books, 0 Loma Constituting a Self (1977-1984) in 1989
and Survival and Sociology: Vindicating the Human Subject (1991).
Both of the more recent books add a third vein which is
autobiographical and which moves back and forth between the
previously established approaches in the earlier works.
Transformation in the Writing is the most ambitious to date,
because, as Wolff points out in the beginning, it contains writings
that "fall quite obviously into three classes: autobiographical;
sociology of knowledge, sociology, poetry, phenomenology,
hermeneutics, critical theory; and our time and its sociological
analysis. " The task of this book is to illuminate the connections
among these three classes. Wolff has engaged in autobiographical
writing his entire life, though this approach to writing has only
in recent years grown closer to his intel lectual preoccupations
with sociology and philosophy."
