Originally published in 1987, this edition in 1996, Sociologists on
Sociology is a unique and sometimes controversial account of the
development, disputes and the future of sociology as seen through
the eyes of eleven of the world’s leading sociologists at the
time. Consisting of interviews with – Anthony Giddens, Robert K.
Merton, Howard Becker, Peter Townsend, Ralf Dahrendorf, Peter
Worsley, Stuart Hall, John Rex, Michael Mann, Laurie Taylor and Ann
Oakley – the book explores such crucial issues as the nature of
deviance, the scientific status of sociology, the relationship of
Marxism and sociology, the contours of race and class, feminism,
relevance of ethnomethodology and the procedures of participant
observation. The contributions of such figures as Goffman, Mills,
Parsons, Weber and Foucault are assessed, and in clear and concise
language the contributors discuss their own theoretical interests
and empirical work in the field. Students and practitioners of the
social sciences will find the book a fascinating and a uniquely
direct insight into the thoughts of sociology’s leading figures
and a remarkable cumulative assessment of the state of the
discipline itself.
