The Normative Structure of Sociology (RLE Social Theory): Conservative and Emancipatory Themes in Social Thought (Routledge Library Editions: Social Theory, Band 47) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

In this provocative analysis of the central issues and developments in modern social theory, Dr Strasser contends that enquiry into the function, tasks and mission of sociology as a discipline can be understood only in relation to the subject's historical development. He believes that a discussion of the origin and intention of sociology, particularly in relation to the established social order, enables us to grasp fully the nature of sociological theory, both past and present. He maintains that a sociologist's own position in society, and consequently his views on its development and his way of expressing those views, will affect the theoretical position he takes up.
