Description
Sociology for Beginners by Richard Osborne is an in-depth guide to the history and development of sociology, from its origins with Enlightenment thought to contemporary debates about gender and digital society.
Osborne explores the various schools of sociology, including the work of key thinkers such as Comte, Marx, Durkheim, and Weber, as well as the rapid expansion of sociology in 20th-century America and Britain. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the subject, contextualising and explaining major arguments and criticisms.
Translated into 20 languages, this introductory text offers a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand the principles and concepts of sociology, from its historical roots to its modern applications.
