Moreover, it is a tribute to the scope of Merton's work and the influence Merton has had on the work and life of sociologists around the world. This is reflected in each of the 12 chapters by internationally acclaimed scholars witnessing the range of fields Merton has contributed to as well as the personal impact he has had on sociologists. This approach is in itself a tribute to Merton: an analysis of knowledge production through a contextualized review of an author's life-work – a quintessentially "Mertonian" enterprise.SociologyUnited StatesHistoryEthics, History, History of science, Modernity, Sociology, United States.SociologyHistory.301.092Elkana Yehuda1934-201245132Szigeti András1522004Lissauer György1522005MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781959203321Concepts and the social order3761508UNINA
