The Nature of Sociology

Více o knize

The book features two pivotal essays by Mauss, who succeeded Emile Durkheim in leading the French school of sociology. The first essay, co-authored with Fauconnet, discusses the methodological foundations of the school, while the second delves into sociology's structure as a form of intellectual labor. These writings bridge anthropology and sociology, reflecting Mauss's belief in their interconnectedness, making the work relevant to both fields. The re-launch of the Année sociologique underscores Mauss's significant contributions to social science.
