Classical Roots and Contemporary Paths: Historical Sociology as an Overall Perspective

近年来,国内的社会学研究出现了历史转向的趋势,历史社会学也成为国内社会科学的研究热点而蓬勃兴起,并涌现了若干重要的研究议题。我们究竟该如何理解历史社会学?这是一门分支学科还是一种理论眼光?历史社会学究竟有哪些理论脉络与研究传统?在本文中,笔者尝试跳出既往对历史社会学的理解范畴,将其作为一种社会学的总体视域加以理解,并通过对经典社会理论的重新检讨,勾勒作为总体视域的历史社会学的古典根源与现代路径,并讨论其本土形态。并以此为基础,讨论历史社会学研究的可能路径。
