(課綱正式版本，請於開學第一週，參考本系網站「課程」--> 「大學部 113-1」 -->「社會學理論」)
在閱讀以下的介紹前，不妨先問問自己：「理論」是什麼 (先不論能否食用、吃不吃得下去)？為什麼社會學需要「理論」？跟其他學科的「理論」具有類似地位嗎？究竟有多少「理論」需要學？這些「理論」跟其他社會現象、經驗資料的關係是？
以上這些問題，在社會學尚未有相當一致的答案，甚至每個國家、每個學術傳統，選定社會學理論的標準也不同。這跟社會學研究者們相當多元的研究興趣和研究取徑有關。不過，從學習者的角度來說，在有限的時間內，不太可能了解所有過去和當代的理論。若依賴特定學術傳統的選擇，可能會失去認識其他理論之貢獻和菁華的機會。因此，這門課採取的策略，是以理論家們共同關心的問題，劃分為數個主題。每個主題，納入數篇來自不同學術傳統的社會學理論文本。這麼做的目的，是希望幫助學習者在有限時間內，了解社會學理論家們，在共同關注的主題中，如何發現問題和建立推論、如何界定研究問題、概念內涵與概念間的關係、解釋/詮釋社會現象的策略。
透過上述課程目標，「社會學理論」期盼在「社會學」和「社會思想史」的基礎上，深化學習者的社會分析與學術探究能力，特別是在理論觀點和經驗現象之間來回穿梭及反思的能力。在本系，「社會學理論」，是本系的特色課群「理論、思想與社會趨勢」的核心，重視抽象思考的訓練，以及理論和社會趨勢的緊密關係。而對研究法相關課程、有志從事調查專案或進行研究專題的學習者來說，「社會學理論」將有助於學習者在接觸各種調查訪談資料、線上線下論述、文件檔案時，能夠從各式資料中看出重要的研究問題、使用/建構適合的概念與回應既有的解釋/詮釋。
(For the official version of the course syllabus, please refer to the department website "Courses" --> "Undergraduate Department 113-1" --> "Sociological Theory" in the first week of school)
Before reading the following introduction, you might as well ask yourself: What is "theory" (regardless of whether it is edible or whether it can be eaten or not)? Why does sociology need “theory”? Does it have a similar status to "theory" in other disciplines? How much “theory” is there to learn? What is the relationship between these "theories" and other social phenomena and empirical data?
There are no fairly consistent answers to the above questions in sociology, and even each country and each academic tradition has different criteria for selecting sociological theories. This is related to the quite diverse research interests and research approaches of sociological researchers. However, from a learner's perspective, it is unlikely to understand all past and contemporary theories within a limited time frame. If you rely on the selection of a particular academic tradition, you may lose the opportunity to recognize the contributions and essence of other theories. Therefore, the strategy adopted in this course is to divide issues of common concern among theorists into several themes. For each topic, several sociological theoretical texts from different academic traditions are included. The purpose of this is to help learners understand, within a limited time, how sociological theorists discover problems and establish inferences, how to define research problems, the relationship between conceptual connotations and concepts, and explanations on topics of common concern. /Strategies for interpreting social phenomena.
Through the above course objectives, "Sociological Theory" hopes to deepen learners' social analysis and academic inquiry abilities on the basis of "Sociology" and "History of Social Thought", especially in shuttling back and forth between theoretical perspectives and empirical phenomena. and the ability to reflect. In this department, "Sociological Theory" is the core of the department's characteristic course group "Theory, Thought and Social Trends", which attaches great importance to the training of abstract thinking and the close relationship between theory and social trends. For learners who take courses related to research methods and are interested in engaging in survey projects or research topics, "Sociological Theory" will help learners learn from various survey interview materials, online and offline discussions, and documents and archives. Identify important research questions from various sources, use/construct appropriate concepts, and respond to existing explanations/interpretations.
