讲座介绍
Empathic qualitative methods have become emblematic of the Chicago school of sociology. Yet methods were not formalized in the early twentieth century and empathy was not in usage as a term. Only a half-century later did methodological formalization begin to occur, and an additional quarter-century effectively passed before writing about empathy in sociological methods began to crystallize. Nevertheless, early Chicago sociologists, assimilating pragmatist thought, established a framework for the deployment of empathic methods. Because empathy involves understanding others, it is argued that it is central to the study of social life. The lecture contends that understanding empathy must be as central to the social scientist’s knowledge as it is to the effective deployment of research methods: a competent quest to generate knowledge about social life is premised on empathy. To heighten awareness of empathy, an epistemology is necessary. To this end, the lecture examines empathy as situated by a set of organizational and historical conditions that account for its origin and ascendance as a prescriptive characteristic of sociological work. The lecturer draws attention to the significance of suffering and suggests that its religious precepts are transmuted for the conditions under which sociology develops in turn-of-the-century Chicago.
