This collection of ten original essays was first published in 1977.
It engages the 'crisis in sociology' at the most fundamental level
of thought and experience. Existential sociology is defined as the
study and understanding of all forms of human existence. Without
seeking to erect a pristine philosophical sanctuary of its own,
Existential Sociology examines and criticizes the underlying
philosophical assumptions of previous theories of social science,
while elaborating its own approach to human understanding. The
contributors are concerned with constructing practical as well as
theoretical truths about social life - how we feel, think and act.
In contrast to most other sociologies, the emphasis is on the
independence and dominance of human feelings over the evaluative
and cognitive features of social actions. Students and teachers of
sociology and people in related fields interested in the connection
between social science and their own subjects will find Existential
Sociology useful and absorbing.
