Generating Images of Stratification is a self-contained
presentation of a theoretical research program that deals with a
significant explanatory problem relating to social inequality and
that constructs generative theoretical models in doing so. In more
detail:
-Self-contained presentation - In respect to the background
sociological facts and theoretical ideas and also the formal
methods the book provides clear and simple accounts accompanied by
examples.
- A theoretical research program - The emphasis is on theory
development, involving a series of theoretical models constructed
within a core framework of principles and methods.
- Deals with a significant explanatory problem relating to social
inequality - We know from research that how people perceive the
stratification system of a society depends upon their position in
that system. So the problem is: What process generates this
regularity and thereby explains empirical generalizations about the
social structuration of images?
- Constructs generative theoretical models - The book is an
extended presentation of "generative theory" in sociology, a formal
method of producing effective theoretical explanations. Generating
Images of Stratification is of interest to mathematical
sociologists and formal theorists in sociology; sociologists
interested in social stratification; methodologists, both in
sociology and in other fields; philosophers of social science; and
theoretical scientists and mathematicians who are interested in
applying their analytical tools to social science topics.
