MAIN CURRENTS IN SOCIOLOGICAL THOUGHT (Two Volumes Set)

Sinopsis

This is the initial volume of Raymond Aron's comprehensive exploration of sociological thought, potentially the most authoritative work on the subject. Aron's study delves into the essence of modernity, questioning what defines the modern order that emerged in the 18th century and continues to shape our experiences today. With his characteristic impartiality, Aron examines the views of prominent social thinkers on this critical issue. Volume 1 investigates three key French liberal political sociology (Montesquieu, Tocqueville), the Comtean tradition (anticipating Durkheim), and Marxism. A foreword by Pierre Manent and an introduction by Daniel J. Mahoney and Brian C. Anderson provide context. This work is indispensable for philosophers, historians, sociologists, and political scientists.
