对社会学的召唤公元21世纪并不必然要引领一个新的社会,但它已经做了。世界上的人们感到了多方面社会变迁的影响,但对这些变迁并无切实的理解,只是感受了变迁过程的力量。这是对社会学这门社会研究科学的挑战。社会比以往任何时候都需要社会学,但不是随便哪种社会学都行,人们需要的社会学不是那种从学术权威的象牙塔发出,指导他们做什么的规范的元学科,也不是那种由空泛的词语游戏和知识自恋构成,故意向不能使用法语-希腊语词典的人进行不完整表达的伪社会学。因为我们需要知道,而且人们也需要知道我们比以往任何时候都需要一种植根于科学奋斗的社会学。当然它必须在其研究对象、理论和方法上有其独特性,不用为了体面而在一些徒劳的研究里模仿自然科学,它必须在客观知识(当然这总是在相对意义上说的)的生产上有清楚的目的,这要通过经验观察、严谨的理论化和明确的沟通来达成。从而我们可以——也愿 The Call to Sociology The 21st century does not necessarily lead to a new society, but it has already been done.

Because we need to know, and people also need to know that we need a sociology that is rooted in scientific struggles more than ever. It must, of course, have its uniqueness in its subjects, theories and methods, without mimicking the natural sciences in some futile research for the sake of being decent, it must produce in the face of objective knowledge (which of course is always in the relative sense) There is a clear purpose, this should be through empirical observation, rigorous theoretical and clear communication to achieve. So we can - also wish
