The Calling of Sociology & Other Essays on the Pursuit of Learning: The Calling of Sociology and Other Essays on the Pursuit of Learning: v. 3 (Selected Papers of Edward Shils) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This third volume of the Selected Papers of Edward Shils brings together ten essays, three of which have never been published before and all the others of which have been completely revised and elaborated. They deal with the history of American and European sociology as an intellectual undertaking and as a means to the attainment of practical ends. Professor Shils's main themes are the influence of ethical and practical intentions on scholarly study in the social sciences, the autonomy of the intellectual tradition of sociology, and the significance of the institutional organization of sociological teaching and research.
