In the 1980’s a book on sociology had a tremendous success in sociological circles, Wolf Lepenies’ Drei Kulturen
. It was quickly translated into the main European languages. It defended two theses : that sociology is neither science nor literature, but a “third culture” and that the great classical sociologists had been wrong when they maintained that sociology could be a science as any other. But the book was possibly inspired by the actual state of sociology at the time when it was published, in the 1980’s, for, at that time, two trends in the social sciences, constructivism and structuralism, drew a great deal of attention, but had diametrically opposed orientations : skepticism inspired constructivism, while scientism inspired structuralism. Today, a new cycle seems to be opened with the birth of the so-called “analytical sociology”.
A comment on the back of the collective book edited by Pierre Demeulenaere under the title Analytical sociology and social mechanisms claims that analytical sociology is simply “good sociology”, suggesting that “analytical sociology” is essentially a reaction against the high degree of diversity that characterizes sociology since, say, the 1960’s. “Analytical sociology” is effectively the symptom of the end of the neither-science-nor – literature cycle and that it retrieves the ambitions of classical sociologists, i.e. making sociology a science like any other.
