Sociological Tradition

Nisbet, Robert A

Sociological Tradition - Jaipur Rawat Publications 2004 - 349

t was in the years 1830-1900 that the conceptual framework of modern sociology was created and it is this period, from de Tocqueville and Marx to Durkheim and Weber, that Professor Nisbet analyses in this book. In particular, he studies the development of five key concepts—”community, authority, status, the sacred, ” and “alienation, ” which are at the heart of modern social theory.
“This thoughtful and lucid guide shows more clearly than any previous book on social thought the common threads in the sociological tradition and the reasons why so many of its central concepts have stood the test of time.” “(Times Literary Supplement)”
