PRELIMINARY REMARKS The social world is constituted by a web of meanings, a reticular version of Ariadne’s thread internalized by subjects. Any attempt to comprehend human action thus requires us to apprehend the processes through which this web is produced, the associated meanings, its modes of subjectification and the sensation of objectivity produced – a condition for the illusion of certainty about the path taken in our everyday life. As we shall see, this formula constitutes the core of the program of cultural sociology developed by Jeffrey Alexander over the last three or four decades. In an interview conducted with the author in 2014,2 when I asked him about the relationship between his work on the theoretical logic of sociology and the development of his own theory and empirical research, he made clear how much this general premise is central to his thought: sociological knowledge is pervaded by the same logic, since the mind of the researcher operates according to the same processes as any social actor. Sociological inquiry is just a specific type of action in the world. In the following section of the interview, we can comprehend how Alexander connects his broader view of the social world and his specific localization in the field of sociological theory:
