The Sociological Worldview

Více o knize

The Sociological Worldview is an introduction for the 1990s, offering a much needed contemporary alternative to existing texts on the development of sociological thought. Stressing the significance of global changes in society, Restivo demonstrates that sociological thinking can be applied to areas of everyday life that may not appear to be fundamentally social: the self, love, religion, mathematics, science, and the world order. Through a series of challenging analyses of these key subjects, and others, the author shows the value of the sociological perspective as a revolutionary development in the history of human inquiry.
