Well, I have to talk about somebody that I admire [about my "field" that is to say sociology (although I don’t even finish the first year in the university)]... but I consider that I don't know enough to talk about somebody; I need to read, study, mature and reflect more to choose somebody proper and strong arguments.
But I have to write this post and I am going to talk about Robert King Merton because my father on last Christmas gave me a book; the book’s name was “Social Theory and Social Structure” written by Merton. That was my first reading of sociological theory and this book help me at the subject of anthropology about functionalism and structuralism.
Robert Merton was an American sociologist that spends the most of his career teaching at Columbia University; father of the theory of manifest and latent function and the theories of middle range and he was recognized for study the sociology of science. He died at 92 years in 2003.
Some books that he wrote was
§ Social Theory and Social Structure
§ The Sociology of Science
§ Sociological Ambivalence
§ On the Shoulders of Giants: A Shandean Postscript
§ On Social Structure and Science
