Main Currents in Sociological Thought: Volume 2

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the evolution of sociology in the early twentieth century, the book delves into the influential ideas of Emile Durkheim, Vilfredo Pareto, and Max Weber. Durkheim seeks a scientific basis for society and morality, while Pareto critiques the elitist structures within societies. Weber offers a critical perspective on human freedom amidst increasing bureaucratization. Richly portraying these thinkers, the work highlights their lasting contributions to sociological thought. The Routledge Classics edition features an introduction by Daniel J. Mahoney and Brian C. Anderson.
