摘要

Academic debates can be entertaining and even useful, but they can also have drawbacks. The present debate has at least three of them. First, despite out ability to discern differing central tendencies between "environmental" and "resource" sociology, the excitement of a debate can cause such modest differences to be exaggerated, potentially being reified into a "divide." Second, only a limited number of social scientists are studying resource/environmental issues, even today, so any researcher attention that is focused on navel gazing--or worse, navel warfare -- is being diverted away from the research topics themselves. Third and most disturbingly, as human impacts on the environment grow more pervasive, we are likely to see an increasing numberof cases where problems involve both "resource" and "environmental" issues, simultaneously. The true need is thus not to argue about differences--or to create them--but instead to develop synergies across differing points of view.
