Sociological Thinking An Introduction focuses on guiding the reader into thinking sociologically and developing a critical and open minded outlook on society. With this aim in mind readers are led to examine and deconstruct their preconceptions about society and reconstruct an understanding through the reflective use of sociological concepts and theories. Each chapter is prefaced with an abstract to orientate the reader to the forthcoming chapter content and highlight typical preconceptions that need to be confronted in making a successful transition from layperson to sociologist. Definitions of key terms are integrated into the text to help the reader acquire a sound conceptual grounding in the subject. Audiences who would benefit from the text include Students who are looking for a reflective alternative which can be used to complement the standard texts. Mature students who are looking for an unintimidating text which can nevertheless guide them to a challenging level of study. Students in higher education who are new to the subject area and are looking for an introductory text in sociology. The general reader who is interested in contemporary issues such as those surrounding globalisation and who is looking for an approachable text. 264 pp.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This text is aimed at higher education students and reflective mature readers who have an interest in the ideas of pioneering sociologists and social philosophers. The focus of attention is on three nineteenth century theorists, Henri Saint Simon, August Comte and Herbert Spencer. The book builds a clear understanding of important concepts of this era, and devotes chapters to providing a social and historical context to the formative ideas of the theorists regarding their interpretations of history, the direction of social change and their utopian images of the future. The English social theorist Herbert Spencer is taken as the key figure. The approach adopted is not to scrutinise the scientific validity or otherwise of Spencer 's works, but rather to: - Provide an English historical context for understanding Spencer's view of social change and future utopia. - Demonstrate some of the more immediate influences shaping Spencer's social outlook. - Present a backdrop to Spencer's social theory with reference to the theories of social change developed by the French theorists Henri Saint Simon and Auguste Comte, themselves located within a French historical context. For those who would like to be eased into this area at a more introductory level, you are recommended to make a preliminary reading of Chapter 2 of John T. Pullinger 's text Sociological Thinking A new Introduction published by Cambridge Academic in 2014.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - In writing this new introduction, the author has remained faithful to the aims of the previous volume that was published in 2008. The new volume has tracked some subsequent developments and reorientations in the subject which reflect social changes. As a result, the content of each chapter has been broadened and expanded. In updating the earlier volume, a decision was made to retain and rework the sections covering founding theory and early research since one of the aims of the book remains to provide a sense of how the subject has developed historically as a mirror of social change. Compared to the previous volume, the author has integrated a range of selective quotations. Also, to assist the reader in following up a broader range of resources, the original list of recommended books has been expanded into a short bibliography and key referencing has been provided. The author has approached this work with the aim of providing a manageable length and accessible introduction to sociology. The text concentrates more heavily than standard A level texts on guiding the reader to develop the psychological and intellectual qualities that are necessary to effectively approach the subject. It is pitched at GCE A Level and is aimed at the sociology student or general reader who is looking for an alternative to the standard texts. Based on this approach, the text caters for the following needs of sociology students and the general reader. It: offers an inroad into the subject at an introductory level which makes no assumptions about the reader's prior knowledge in the subject; guides students / the reader through the process of breaking down preconceptions on the way that they view society and their own lives; leads the reader into appreciating the challenges that sociological thinking poses; provides a clear introduction to sociological concepts and theories and offers a challenging learning curve in constructing sociological approaches and insights. …
