Description
Classical Sociological Theory provides a comprehensive introduction to the historical and ongoing impact of classical theory on sociological debate. This latest edition offers students a definitive guide to the theoretical foundations of sociology, exploring the ideas of influential thinkers such as Marx, Durkheim, Weber, Mead, Simmel, Freud, Du Bois, Adorno, Marcuse, Parsons, and Merton.
Editorial introductions provide historical and intellectual context for key readings on influential theories emerging from the Enlightenment era and de Tocqueville's work. The selected readings strike a balance between theoretical sophistication and accessibility, covering topics such as self and society, critical theory, and structural-functional analysis.
This edition remains the gold standard in classical theory readers, offering a thorough understanding of seminal works in sociological theory.
