Until recently, a handbook on neurosociology would have been viewed
with skepticism by sociologists, who have long been protective of
their disciplinary domain against perceived encroachment by
biology. But a number of developments in the last decade or so have
made sociologists more receptive to biological factors in sociology
and social psychology. Much of this has been encouraged by the
coeditors of this volume, David Franks and Jonathan Turner. This
new interest has been increased by the explosion of research in
neuroscience on brain functioning and brain-environment interaction
(via new MRI technologies), with implications for social and
psychological functioning. This handbook emphasizes the integration
of perspectives within sociology as well as between fields in
social neuroscience. For example, Franks represents a social
constructionist position following from G.H. Mead's voluntaristic
theory of the act while Turner is more social structural and
positivistic. Furthermore, this handbook not only contains
contributions from sociologists, but leading figures from the
psychological perspective of social neuroscience.
