Synopsis

Hilbert demonstrates the historical connection between the nineteenth-century theory of Emile Durkheim and Max Weber, in which sociology had its origins, and the ethnomethodological approach articulated in the 1960s by Harold Garfinkel. The author rejects the conventional view that draws radical distinctions between the two systems and at the same time provides an intellectual genealogy of ethnomethodology.

Review

A fresh, provocative, and profound interpretation of a significant segment of twentieth-century sociological theory.
(Melvin Pollner, University of California, Los Angeles)

What Hilbert does is provide historical justification for taking ethnomethodology seriously on its own terms "as sociology".
(Charles Lemert, Wesleyan University)
