Robert K. Merton's sociological work spans several decades, including the 1920s (childhood), 1930s (anomie, science, and unexpected), 1940s (housing studies, mass communications, structural-functional analysis, professions, focus groups), 1950s (reference groups), 1960s (ambivalence), and later decades (structural analysis, sociological semantics, cultural sociology). He made significant contributions to sociology during a period when various specialties were emerging, and his work encompasses both general and specialist sociologies. Merton is widely recognized as the father of anomie/strain theory, focus groups, sociology of science, role set theory, analytical sociology, structural-functional analysis, ambivalence studies, and sociological semantics. However, he always aimed to maintain the interconnectedness of various threads within sociology. Merton stood at the crossroads of multiple fields, including classical and modern sociology, American and European sociology, theory and research, philosophy of social science, applied sociology, pure academic sociology, and applied sociology. Despite these diverse intersections, the different components of Merton's work are interconnected. RKM had a profound impact on the baby boomer generation of sociologists who entered the field during a period of significant expansion of university positions across many developed countries. Other generations of sociologists, who have been less exposed to his work, can greatly benefit from engaging with the essays included in this volume.
