商品簡介
Rawls (sociology, Bentley College) presents this manuscript, originally written in 1948, by Harold Garfinkel (sociology, UCLA), who coined the term "ethnomethodology." The book comprises his ideas about mainstream sociology prior to his origination of the term, and was a proposal for the dissertation that he never wrote. He theorizes that social order is the key to mutual understanding, outlines theories about action, actor, social identity, meaning, noesis-noema structures, communication, and group, and addresses problems with his thesis. The book is intended for social theory scholars and graduate students and other social scientists. Annotation c2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
