台灣的社會學係源自西方社會的舶來品，故其教學向來以歐美的教材 為主，研究亦以移植西方理論、方法及成果為要。其中，「社會學理論」的教學 與研究自當不例外，可謂典型的例子。然而，面對現實的社會，理論的探討自然 有著實踐的問題，尤其對於身處古今中外十字路口的本地學者而言，其引介或研 究西方社會理論，的選擇標準是什麼？這些標準是否反映或考量本土社會的發展 背景？它們又代表著學者什麼樣的態度和立場？其間產生了什麼問題與爭議？ 針對上述諸問題，本文透過近年來國內的社會學理論教學及其相關研究活動，特 別是「韋伯熱」現象的分析，試圖說明社會學理論教學與台灣社會的關係，藉以 彰顯蘊含其中的關於理論與實踐的意義。經過這樣的分析，我們能夠相當程度地 省思此間的社會學教學與發展，發現其中的事實與問題；更可以藉此策勵未來在 教學與研究上的做法與方向。
