This volume is a collection of original essays by sociologists and
intellectual historians who have been leading figures in recent
scholarship on the classical sociological theorists. The volume
includes essays by Mary Pickering on Auguste Comte, Moishe Postone
on Kar Marx, Valerie A. Haines on Herbert Spencer, Robert Alun
Jones on Emile Durkheim, Donald N. Levine on Georg Simmel, Stephen
Kalberg on Max Weber, Martin Bulmer on Robert E. Park and W. I.
Thomas, and Hans Joas on George Herbert Mead. Also included is a
wide-ranging examinatin of neglected woman founders by Lynn
McDonald plus a concluding analysis of recent developments in the
area of classical theory by Alan Sica.
Offering a novel blend of historicist and presentist approaches
to reclaiming sociology's rich intellectual past, the studies in
the collection provide an analytic guide to the vast secondary
literature that has appeared in recent years. The essays also
dispel longstanding stereotypes about the lives and works of these
theorists and propose major revisionist reinterpretations of their
thought.
Taken together, the studies in the volume fill the serious void
that currently exists in the literature between, on the one hand,
introductory summaries of the ideas of various classical authors,
and, on the other, specialized monographs and articles devoted to
the examination of particular thinkers.
