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 themeselves 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.

William Sewell traces the rise of positivism and quantification in social history of American academia. Social historians asked new questions about new categories of people with new forms of evidence. Thus a gold mine of documentation arose, including recor...

Sewell对于文化、社会、事件、结构等概念的理解一脉相承。弄明白一个基本也就搞清楚他的思路了。他并不是要给这些概念再提出一套自己的理论，只是要为那些想把“文化”和“社会史”写到一起去，想把“结构”和“行动”写到一起去的人提供一套切实可行的操作方案。

写得很好的一本，之前读了文化的部分今天因为课程reading读了structure/event的两个部分，作者写的很好，structuralism把结构作为一个静止的/无法改变的东西而后结构主义批判了这一点，因为结构本身是由行动创造的，对于要把结构和行动写到一起的人来说作者提供了一个很好的视角和理论范本。
