  • Modelling Communities and Populations: an Introduction to Computational Social Science
    STUDIA METODOLOGICZNE NR 39 • 2019, 123–152 DOI: 10.14746/sm.2019.39.5 Andrzej Jarynowski, Michał B. Paradowski, Andrzej Buda Modelling communities and populations: An introduction to computational social science Abstract. In sociology, interest in modelling has not yet become widespread. However, the methodology has been gaining increased attention in parallel with its growing popularity in economics and other social sciences, notably psychology and political science, and the growing volume of social data being measured and collected. In this paper, we present representative computational methodologies from both data-driven (such as “black box”) and rule-based (such as “per analogy”) approaches. We show how to build simple models, and discuss both the greatest successes and the major limitations of modelling societies. We claim that the end goal of computational tools in sociology is providing meaningful analyses and calculations in order to allow making causal statements in sociological ex- planation and support decisions of great importance for society. Keywords: computational social science, mathematical modelling, sociophysics, quantita- tive sociology, computer simulations, agent-based models, social network analysis, natural language processing, linguistics. 1. One model of society, but many definitions Social reality has been a fascinating area for mathematical description for a long time. Initially, many mathematical models of social phenomena resulted in simplifications of low application value. However, with their grow- ing validity (in part due to constantly increasing computing power allowing for increased multidimensionality), they have slowly begun to be applied in prediction and forecasting (social engineering), given that the most interesting feature of social science research subjects – people, organisations, or societies – is their complexity, usually based on non-linear interactions.

Transpersonal Sociology: Origins, Development, and Theory Ryan Rominger1 Harris Friedman Sofia University University of Florida Palo Alto, CA, USA Gainesville, FL, USA Transpersonal theory formally developed within psychology through the initial definition of the field in the publishing of the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology. However, transpersonal sociology also developed with the Transpersonal Sociology Newsletter, which operated through the middle 1990s. Both disciplines have long histories, while one continues to flourish and the other, comparatively, is languishing. In order to encourage renewed interest in this important area of transpersonal studies, we discuss the history, and further define the field of transpersonal sociology, discuss practical applications of transpersonal sociology, and introduce research approaches that might be of benefit for transpersonal sociological researchers and practitioners.

  • THE TENSION BETWEEN HUMANISM and SCIENCE: SOCIOLOGY in the 1980S*
    1I t I I THE TENSION BETWEEN HUMANISM AND SCIENCE: SOCIOLOGY IN THE 1980s* Joseph R. Gusfield University ofCalifornia, San Diego Mid-American Review of Sociology, 1980, Vol. V, No.1 :1-14 Although we talk a great deal about prediction as an aim of social science we practitioners of sociological science have never been very successful in peering into the future and seeing what is to be. Yet soothsaying is an ancient if not always honor­ able profession and I have incautiously rushed in by agreeing to accept the charge of this presentation. To save my rash action from being an empty performance I will try to use the format of crystal gazing as a device within which to raise some questions of theory and method which I believe are both persistent in sociology and reemerging now and in the coming years as central points of intellectual conflict. My theme is the recurrent issue of the image of human behavior and the metaphors or models which we sociologists use to study, understand and explain our subject matter. In my judg­ ment the two models of a humanistic view of human action and a scientific one have continuously been offered. Each has been drawn from its own tradition, differing from the other in funda­ mental wa.ys. The Humanistic model has been drawn fro,m .litera­ tur~, art, philosophy, and history, the scientific. rno_del .fro~ phySICS, biology and. chemistry. Science ·has stressed the deter­ ministic character of cause-effect relationships and provided a methodology for discovering the operation of laws or proposi­ tions of human behavior.

  • Toward a Humanistic Sociological Theory
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted you will find a target note listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete.

  • The Return to Values in Recent Sociological Theory
    PIOTR SZTOMPKA Jagiellonian University The Return to Values in Recent Sociological Theory Abstract: The author reviews two opposite traditional positions on the role of values and value judgements in sociological research and theory: treating values as a bias interfering in research, or treating values as ideology providing privileged access to knowledge. He traces the recent revival of the debate about valuations, focusing particularly on the claims of the so-called “public sociology.” Then the author’s own position is outlined based on the fundamental particularity of the social sciences as contrasted with the natural sciences. The old argument that values do not follow from facts is acknowledged as true in the sense of logical deduction, but in the social sciences we encounter different mechanism of implication, which may be called “sociological syllogism:” values may follow from facts, and facts may imply values because, on the one hand, people act on their axiological beliefs, and human actions constitute social facts, and on the other hand, social facts (e.g. about poverty, inequality, degradation, crime, terrorism) mobilize moral impulses and valuational commitments. In other words values shape meanings of human actions and resulting social facts, and the knowledge of facts acquires valuational meaning by mobilizing human axiological impulses. The strict separation of facts and values does not work in the social sciences; there is a two-directional link between the two. This opens the possibility for “sociological ethics” deriving normative standards of social life from the research results of sociology. Keywords: Values, value-judgments, valuations, ideology, syllogism, meaning, moral impulse Why “the Return”? The problem of value judgments and their role in sociological thinking is one of the perennial riddles of sociology.

ZNANIECKI’S POZNAŃ SCHOOL OF SOCIOLOGY AS A SOCIOLOGICAL AND A RESEARCH ISSUE1 Abstract Just like Émile Durkheim in bordeaux, Florian Znaniecki established in Poznań his own School of Sociology. by referring to the school, it is meant educational, research, academic and organisational activities on the part of F. Znaniecki and his co-workers in 1920–1939, undertaken primarily in two institutions: the Poznań university and the Polish Institute of Sociology established also in Poznań. While the city was the heart of the School’s operations, its influence was much stronger. This was reflected in the initiatives which integrated various sociological circles in Poland, maintaining contacts with other academic centres, specifically in the uS, engaging in academic work or establishing own research institutes in new locations in Poland and abroad by Znaniecki’s disciples. The article indicates selected major characteristics of the Poznań School of Sociology including the adoption of a specific viewpoint represented by Znaniecki about sociology and forging closer bonds between him and his disciples. In the final part, the article indicates certain detailed issues which, when explained, would let us better understand the nature of the development PhD, Faculty of Sociology; e-mail: [email protected]; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1513-1639 1 The author acknowledges the financial support of the French Government and the French Embassy in Poland.

The goal of this essay is to underscore some main lines of the debate, systematize the issues, and attempt a tentative summary. Let’s start with a methodological point. The comparative focus taken by the project allows two directions of research. The first, akin to the classical logic of the comparative approach as put forward by John Stuart Mill, is to seek uniformities and similarities in the sea of diversities and differences and then to account for the reasons why such uniformities emerge.

  • Tradition, Present and Future of the Sociology of Work in Poland
    Warsaw Forum of Economic Sociolog y 7:1(13) Spring 2016 Warsaw School of Economics; Collegium of Socio-Economics; Institute of Philosophy, Sociolog y and Economic Sociolog y Tradition, Present and Future of the Sociology of Work in Poland: Reflections on the Project ‘Doyens of the Sociology of Work’ Ewa Giermanowska* Elżbieta Kolasińska** Adam Mrozowicki*** Joanna Róg-Ilnicka**** Abstract is article explores the experiences of the institutionalization and crisis of the sociology of work in Poland by analyzing the narratives of the doyens of the sociology of work in the country. It is argued that the institutionalization of sociology of work in the 1960s and 1970s re"ected the requirements of the socialist industrialization of the country and its crisis (lasting from the end of 1980s) has political and economic roots related to systemic transformation. Simultaneously, some parallels between the situation of the sociology of work before and a#er 1989 are noted, including the challenges of cooperation between sociologists and industry. e empirical data in the article come from the research project carried out the Sociology of Work Section of the Polish Sociological Association based on the narrative interviews with the academic sociologists of work and plant sociologists who began their careers in the period of state socialism in Poland. Key words: doyens of sociology of work, plant sociolgists, institutionalisation of the sociology of work, the crisis of sociology of work, Poland * University of Warsaw, [email protected] ** University
