Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's the use of sociology? The question has been asked often enough and it leaves a lingering doubt in the minds of many. At a time when there is widespread scepticism about the value of sociology and of the social sciences generally, this short book by one of the world's leading thinkers offers a passionate, engaging and important statement of the need for sociology. In a series of conversations with Michael Hviid Jacobsen and Keith Tester, Zygmunt Bauman explains why sociology is necessary if we hope to live fully human lives. But the kind of sociology he advocates is one which sees 'use' as more than economic success and knowledge as more than the generation of facts. Bauman makes a powerful case for the practice of sociology as an ongoing dialogue with human experience, and in so doing he issues a call for us all to start questioning the common sense of our everyday lives. He also offers the clearest statement yet of the principles which inform his own work, reflecting on his life and career and on the role of sociology in our contemporary liquid-modern world. This book stands as a testimony to Bauman's belief in the enduring relevance of sociology. But it is also a call to us all to start questioning the world in which we live and to transform ourselves from being the victims of circumstance into the makers of our own history. For that, at the end of the day, is the use of sociology.

Download or read book Theoretical Thinking in Sociology written by William Skidmore and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1979-12-27 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sociological theory has typically been studied in three types of courses: history of sociological thought, modern sociological perspectives, and philosophy of science. Theoretical Thinking in Sociology is a book that combines all three of these approaches and covers four main themes in sociological theory - exchange theory, functionalism, symbolic interaction and ethnomethodology. Although each theory takes a different approach to the task of explaining social order, all are presented with an emphasis on theoretical thinking. In addition to outlining these theories, the author describes in detail the theoretical problems faced by leading sociological theorists and their solutions to them, and presents theory as a creative intellectual development. The book reviews significant problems from the history of theory in sociology, and discusses research literature and the relationship of this research to its theoretical field. Each chapter of this 1979 second edition ends with a summary, topics for discussion, essay questions, and suggestions for further reading.

Book excerpt: Sociology addresses the basic question of why people behave the way they do, but it does so utilizing perspectives distinctly different from those employed by other social or natural sciences. Thinking Sociologically, 2/e introduces elements of basic sociological perspectives, both past and present. Rather than focusing on what sociologists currently think about various topics, it features many examples of how sociologists think. It guides readers in developing and using a sociological imagination, so that they can apply critical thinking, appropriate theory, and a knowledge of methodology in finding answers to their own questions about human behavior. To help students bridge the gap between theory and research, this introductory text: . provides a modern interpretation of the nature of science, and gives students the methodological tools with which to evaluate competing scientific claims; . introduces the network approach as a theoretical alternative to social-disorganization theory; . explains what constitutes a sociological problem and describes how to transform a hypothesis into a research project that is feasible, interesting, and useful; . features exercises in critical yet open-minded assessment of claims to knowledge; . invites the reader to join in some intriguing contemporary debates in the field of sociology . includes stimulating illustrative readings that reinforce students analytical and logical thinking skills while sharpening their sociological imaginations. Thinking Sociologically, 2/e invites students to become active participants in sociology as an applied field: asking questions and seeking explanations for the behavior of real people in real situations in the real world."
