5.0 out of 5 stars
the best collection of ethno. papers in print, September 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Ethnomethodology and the Human Sciences (Paperback)
Button gathered some of the elite thinkers in ethnomethodology together for this collection, and what a collection it is! Spanning such diverse topics as logic, cognition, ethics, methodology, social action theory, science, etc., it is by far one of the most impressive books ever produced by professional ethnomethodologists announcing their unique philosophical and social-scientific perspective and its genuinely inter-disciplinary relevance. Its rigor is its most intriguing characteristic: rarely do we find, from sociologists, writing of this caliber and care, with such attention to scholarship and to argumentation. All in all, an excellent, intriguing and stimulating series of insights into the ethnomethodological world. Ethnomethodology? The logical inquiry into how human conduct ACTUALLY operates in real-time and in the real world. NO to theorising, no to stipulative operationalising: YES to the detailed logical analysis of human conduct and its circumstances. An eye-opener!
