摘要

Harrison White is a sociologist whose methodological and conceptual innovations have profoundly shaped sociology, yet his writings remain notoriously difficult to approach. This book seeks to clarify his central ideas by situating them within the trajectory of his unusual intellectual journey, from physics to sociology. Beginning with attempts to construct mathematical models for the social sciences, White progressively developed a vision of social formations emerging from situated action.
