Embattled Reason constitutes an intellectual profile of one of
America's preeminent sociologists. This collection of essays,
published over the course of thirty years, embodies a series of
intellectual choices in response to current concerns and to debates
of the past, affording a coherent and unified view of Bendix's work
as a whole. The articles are grouped under three headings. In
"Conditions of Knowledge" the author is concerned with the value
assumptions basic to the social sciences. Under "Theoretical
Perspectives" the author presents the guiding considerations of his
own work in a continuing dialogue with such thinkers as
Tocqueville, Marx, Durkheim, and Weber. In the last section,
"Studies of Modernization," Bendix takes up problems involved in an
analysis of social change though a reexamination of evolutionist
assumptions. Reinhard Bendix is professor of sociology and
political science at the University of California, Berkeley.
