Проблеми соціології. Ґеорґ-Зімелівські лекції, 1995

by Neil J. Smelser, Нейл Дж. Смелзер

Based on the Georg Simmel Lectures delivered at Humboldt University in the spring of 1995, Problematics of Sociology is a distillation of Neil Smelser's reflections after nearly four decades of research, teaching, and thought in the field of sociology. Each chapter considers a different level of analysis: micro, meso, macro, and global. Within this framework, the themes considered range over a variety of topics, including the place of the rational and nonrational in social action and in social science theory; social institutions as imagined entities; the eclipse of social class; and the decline of the nation-state as a focus of solidarity.

Interesting here and there. And for the reader who's as moronic as I am: this has nothing to do with Simmel. That's just the name of the lecture series at Humboldt University. D'oh.

This book gives a good overview of many major problems that plague sociology.
