社会学中存在着不同学派、范式和发展策略之间的相互竞争、论战 、甚至隔阂和对抗,但这一学科也有着共有的话语场域、共同关注的论题、共享性的概念、理论和方法体系 。这是一种复杂的学科品性:它是论战与共识 、自由发挥与兼容共存、多重体系与共同遗产的结合。这一品性之中必然有社会学成为一门学科的基点, 这需要我们从中剥离出最具共性的意涵和实质性的内容。 在我们看来 ,在一定意义上可以说 ,全部社会学理论都是以不同的形式 、从不同的侧面、直接或间接 地对个人与社会的关系这一问题的反映 、陈述或阐释。对于作为知识系统的社会学理论来说, 个人与社会关系问题具有极为重要的意义 ,它是社会学理论研究的核心和理论构建的基础 ,社会学的主题 、设 问形式、话语、概念、范式 、理论框架 ,都与这个问题密切相关 。不仅如此,这一问题还伸展出社会学理论的方法,导源了理论方法的分裂状况,从而也是当代社会学反思和重建的源头。
