Explorations in Classical Sociological Theory: Seeing the Social World

Explorations in Classical Sociological Theory: Seeing the Social World

by KennethD.Allan (Author)

Synopsis

Written in a conversational tone that cuts through theoretical jargon, Explorations in Classical Sociological Theory introduces students to the major classical theorists, including Marx, Spencer, Durkheim, Weber, Simmel, Mead, Schutz, Gilman and Du Bois. This text focuses on the individual perspective of each theorist rather than schools of thought, and uses the provocative ideas of modernity and postmodernity to help students understand how the theoretical, historical perspectives apply to their own time period.
