While social scientists and historians have been exchanging ideas
for a long time, they have never developed a proper dialogue about
social theory. William H. Sewell Jr. observes that on questions of
theory the communication has been mostly one way: from social
science to history. "Logics of History" argues that both history
and the social sciences have something crucial to offer each other.
While historians do not think of themselves as theorists, they know
something social scientists do not: how to think about the
temporalities of social life. On the other hand, while social
scientists' treatments of temporality are usually clumsy, their
theoretical sophistication and penchant for structural accounts of
social life could offer much to historians.
Renowned for his work at the crossroads of history, sociology,
political science, and anthropology, Sewell argues that only by
combining a more sophisticated understanding of historical time
with a concern for larger theoretical questions can a satisfying
social theory emerge. In "Logics of History," he reveals the shape
such an engagement could take, some of the topics it could
illuminate, and how it might affect both sides of the disciplinary
divide.
