Comparison of Influentials in Contemporary American and British Sociology: A Study in the Internationalization of Sociology
TLDR
Sociology will, according to Moore, increasingly become international because men will increasingly be facing similar problems and finding similar solutions as mentioned in this paper, and if sociology or any other discipline were to become more international than it presently is, one way in which this process would be manifest is through an increasing concentration upon the works of a number of men who make fundamental trans-national contributions.Abstract:
Sciences, by their very nature, attempt to transcend national boundaries. It is, as William V. Consolazio points out, 'a truism that science is international' (1965: 322). Wilbert Moore has recently suggested that sociology has become 'remarkably international' (1966: 476). Sociology will, according to Moore, increasingly become international because men will increasingly be facing similar problems and finding similar solutions. If sociology, or any other discipline, were to become more international than it presently is we might assume that one way in which this process would be manifest is through an increasing concentration upon the works of a number of men who make fundamental trans-national contributionsread more
