Throughout a 35-year period he has shown a rare theoretical mastery and empirical applicability of what was thought to be a European preserve of social science. Influenced by the leading writers in their discipline, DeGré carries their work forward in the direction of what he calls 'socioanalysis'. This volume collects his writings, spanning four decades of activity. From his thesis on the theory of semiotics in Sorokin and Spengler to his later writings drawing a sharp distinction between the sociology of knowledge and sociological theories of knowledge, DeGré remains sensitive to the place of language in knowledge formation. Increasingly, his work has focused on ways to show the empirical relevance of this area. Two chapters do just that. In 'Science as a Social Institution', also included in this book, DeGré attempted to situate the development of modern science in its social context long before it was fashionable to do so. The author and his editor have reviewed each chapter to make sure that its contents accord well with the latest findings in this most intriguing area of sociology - linking European past with an American present. -- Contents: 1.
