Abstract
This book explores analytical sociology as an approach for explaining important social facts such as network structures, patterns of residential segregation, typical beliefs, and cultural tastes. It brings together some of the most prominent analytical sociologists in Europe and the United States in an effort to clarify the distinctive features of the approach and to further its development. The volume is organized into four parts. Part I describes the foundations of analytical sociology while Part II discusses the role of action and interaction in explaining diverse social processes such as emotions and beliefs. Part III looks at the macroscopic social dynamics brought on by the activation of the cog-and-wheel mechanisms, tackling topics ranging from segregation dynamics to divorce and social influence. Part IV concludes the book by asking how analytic sociology relates to other fields and approaches such as game theory, analytic ethnography, and historical sociology.
