A volume from a series on sociologists which considers the work of John Goldthorpe. The first part of the work offers an introduction to Goldthorpe's work, the second offers a set of paired contributions on his work and one free-standing chapter covering the main themes in his writing and the third contains a response to that from the sociologist himself, which concludes with a Popperian commitment to the idea of "consensus and controversy", seeing them as the two modes of communicative action which lie at the very heart of the scientific method. The text ends with biographical details about the contributors and an outline intellectual biography of Goldthorpe.
