Reintroducing Robert K. Merton

Reintroducing Robert K. Merton

This book reintroduces the work of Robert K. Merton as a bridge between classical sociology and modern sociology. Founded in the sociological classics but developing a modern approach to the advancement of theory and research methodology Merton’s thought helped to construct modern sociology in its coverage of many of the social institutional areas of contemporary society. Recovering and analysing the system of ‘structural analysis’ which Merton progressively developed – a system largely overlooked due to the tendency among commentators to stereotype him as a ‘functionalist’ – the author considers the applications of this approach to various substantive fields particularly science and criminal justice and examines the effect of Merton’s later ‘sociological semantics’ on his overall schema. A clear and accessible presentation of the array of concepts introduced by Merton to sociology Reintroducing Robert K. Merton will appeal to scholars and students with interests in sociological theory social research the history of sociology and the various substantive areas covered in the work of Merton – deviance science and communications.

House and Home Cultural Contexts Ontological Roles

House and Home Cultural Contexts Ontological Roles

House and home are words routinely used to describe where and how one lives. This book challenges predominant definitions and argues that domesticity fundamentally satisfies the human need to create and inhabit a defined place in the world. Consequently house and home have performed numerous cultural and ontological roles and have been assiduously represented in scripture literature art and philosophy. This book presents how the search for home in an unpredictable world led people to create myths about the origins of architecture houses for their gods and house tombs for eternal life. Turning to more recent topics it discusses how writers often used simple huts as a means to address the essentials of existence; modernist architects envisioned the capacity of house and home to improve society; and the suburban house was positioned as a superior setting for culture and family. Throughout the book house and home are critically examined to illustrate the perennial role and capacity of architecture to articulate the human condition position it more meaningfully in the world and assist in our collective homecoming. | House and Home Cultural Contexts Ontological Roles

K 12 Education as a Hermeneutic Adventurous Endeavor Toward an Educational Way of Thinking

K 12 Education as a Hermeneutic Adventurous Endeavor Toward an Educational Way of Thinking

Considering the role of compulsory mass education and schooling in a democratic society this book introduces an alternative vision for K-12 education as an adventurous endeavour. Grounded in a strong theoretical framework Yosef-Hassidim reveals the negative impact of instrumentalization of schools: when education is considered a social and political instrument it serves dominant social forces’ interests rather than students’ or humanity as a whole. Offering conceptual and pragmatic frameworks to limit political influence on schooling the author proposes a new hermeneutical structure that restores education’s agency and separates it from external social forces and provides the foundation for regarding K-12 education as a sovereign social sphere in its own right. | K�12 Education as a Hermeneutic Adventurous Endeavor Toward an Educational Way of Thinking

The Apocalypse of the Reluctant Gnostics Carl G. Jung and Philip K. Dick

The Apocalypse of the Reluctant Gnostics Carl G. Jung and Philip K. Dick

This book presents a comparison of the Gnostic worldviews of Carl G. Jung and science-fiction author Philip K. Dick two figures who have done far more than most to revive an interest in the Gnostic tradition in the modern world. Despite profoundly different approaches - one was a depth psychologist whose unique insights and approach to psychology forced him to explore the depths of the unconscious in a way that inevitably led him to touch frequently on metaphysical or spiritual matters; the other was an author of science-fiction - there are some striking parallels between their unique Gnostic visions. With the relatively recent publication of both Jung's and Dick's personal journals - The Red Book (2009) and The Exegesis of Philip K. Dick (2011) respectively - in which they articulate their Gnostic visions it seems timely to make this comparison. | The Apocalypse of the Reluctant Gnostics Carl G. Jung and Philip K. Dick
