Generally Speaking

Discover the groundbreaking insights of Eviatar Zerubavel in his thought-provoking book, Generally Speaking, published in 2021. Spanning 128 pages, this work challenges the traditional divide between theory and methodology in sociology. Zerubavel introduces an innovative method of theorizing that uncovers abstract social patterns, proposing that these methodologies can be effectively taught and learned.

Many sociologists focus on the specific, often neglecting the broader, generic patterns that define social behavior. Generally Speaking seeks to address this gap by detailing the theoretico-methodological processes critical to "concept-driven sociology." With eloquent prose and clear illustrations, Zerubavel helps readers distill these essential societal patterns, making it an invaluable resource for both students and seasoned sociologists alike.
