Social Science Quotations has been prepared to meet an evident,
unmet need in the literature of the social sciences. Writings on
the lives and theories of individual social scientists abound, but
there has been no fully documented collection of memorable
quotations from the social sciences as a whole. The frequent use of
quotations in scientific as well as literary writings that are mere
summaries or paraphrases typically fail to capture the full force
of formulations that have made quotations memorable. This book of
quotations invites the further reading or rereading of the original
texts, beyond the quotations themselves. Sills and Merton draw
extensively upon the writings that constitute the historical core
of the social sciences and social thought; those works with staying
power often described as the "classical texts." Many quotations
have been drawn from these classical texts because the quotations
contain memorable ideas memorably expressed. Both consequential and
memorable, these words have been quoted over the generations,
entering into the collective memory of social scientists everywhere
and at times diffusing into popular thought and into the vernacular
as well. This book is useful to social scientists, anthropologists,
economists, historians, political scientists, psychiatrists,
psychologists, sociologists and statisticians and for all who want
to learn or verify memorable formulations and phrases concerning
social thought and social theories. It is particularly useful for
graduate students taking courses that examine the history of their
discipline.
