About the Book
This is essentially a textbook on Sociological Thought which examines critically the major Sociological thinkers from Comte to Sorokin. The sociological thinkers covered include Comte, Marx, Spencer, Durkheim, Pareto, Simmel, Weber, Mannheim, mid Sorokin.
Each chapter traces the formative influences, both intellectual and social, which have contributed to the social philosophy of the thinker. A short introduction to each sociological master, titled Life and Times, gives a very useful insight, to the social and political environment and the intellectual traditions, to which the major theorists react. The book is written in a lucid, easy-to-read manner, and essentially sums up the development of sociological thought for over two centuries.
