Between Literature and Science: The Rise of Sociology (Ideas in Context, Series Number 10) - Hardcover
The theme of this book is the conflict that arose in the early nineteenth century between the literary and scientific intellectuals of Europe, as they competed for recognition as the chief analysts of the new industrial society in which they lived. Sociology was conceived as the third major discipline, a hybrid of the scientific and literary traditions. The author chronicles the rise of the new discipline by discussing the lives and works of the most prominent thinkers of the time, in England, France, and Germany. The book presents a penetrating study of idealists grappling with reality when industrial society was in its infancy. Published with the support of the Exxon Education Foundation.

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First English Edition ( 'First published in English by Editions De La Maison Des Sciences De l'Homme and Cambridge University Press 1988 as Between Literature And Science: The Rise Of Sociology' ). This book came from the library of the renowned sociologist Daniel Bell. However, he did not write his name in the book (I have a number of books currently for sale that were previously owned by Daniel Bell, some of them were inscribed to him). This book was first published in German in 1985 by Carl Hanser. As you can see from the photos, the green covers are exceptionally clean. The gilt lettering on the spine is very bright. The edges and corners are in very good shape. There is a tiny etched 'P' just off the bottom edge of the rear cover just adjacent to the spine. I have no idea what that signifies. To be clear, that's the way the book was produced. The only imperfection in terms of the covers is a thin and light pinkish stain on the top page edge (it has no impact on the actual pages). The book is solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages and covers. I've scrolled through the pages a number of times without finding any instances of soiling. The pages are exceptionally clean. So are the white inside covers and end papers. The only imperfection with regard to the pages is a small nick at the top edge. It appears there must've been a bump to the top page edge and you can see the nick created between pages 19 and 65. There are no tears, and it obviously doesn't come anywhere near the print. I'm not seeing any creasing. There are no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. There are no markings. No attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere in the book. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It's in very nice shape. It looks very clean. There are no tears. The flaps are in very good shape as well, very clean, no wear. The jacket is not priced or clipped. I've had it in a fitted protective cover for all the years that I've owned the book. 'The theme of this book is the conflict which arose in the early nineteenth century between, on the one hand, the literary and, on the other, the scientific intellectuals of Europe, as they competed for recognition as the chief analysts of the new industrial society in which they lived. This conflict was epitomized by the confrontation between Matthew Arnold and T.H. Huxley, and later in that between F.R. Leavis and C.P. Snow. Sociology was born as the third major discipline, though in many ways it was a hybrid of the literary and the scientific traditions. The social sciences continue, even today, to oscillate between these two traditions. The author chronicles the rise of the new discipline by discussing the lives and work of the most prominent thinkers of the time, in England, France and Germany. These include John Stuart Mill, H.G. Wells, Beatrice and Sidney Webb and T.S. Eliot; Auguste Comte, Charles Peguy, Emile Durkheim; Stefan George, Thomas Mann, Max Weber and Karl Mannheim. At stake was the right to formulate a philosophy of life in contemporary society, and to predict and pre-empt the worse consequences of industrialization. The book presents a penetrating study of idealists grappling with reality, when industrial society was still in its infancy. It will be of interest to those studying sociology and its history as a discipline, but it is equally relevant to other social science subjects which may be said to have arisen at about the same time.'.
