This book fills a void by assembling seminal writings from many
original works that created the "science of society" -- by Auguste
Comte, Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, Herbert Spencer, George Herbert
Mead, Ferdinand Tonnies, Georg Simmel, Thorsten Veblen, Max Weber,
and other "founding fathers" of sociology.
The seminal writings in this anthology originally appeared in
articles and books published from the mid 19th century to the early
20th century. They are, therefore, primary source documents that
allow modern students to see how the authors introduced the
paradigm-changing constructs that shattered earlier perceptions of
reality. They include social class, conspicuous consumption,
division of labor, collective consciousness, social self, survival
of the fittest, anomie, culture lag, charisma, social solidarity,
and other concepts that dominate how social scientists today think
about and study human relationships, institutions, societies, and
cultures.
In addition to allowing students to experience the great theorists'
thoughts and reasoning processes directly, these primary source
documents provide an invaluable research resource because they were
written by the theorists in the "first person," as they were
undergoing their groundbreaking theoretical insights and
discoveries, and while they were recording, reflecting on,
witnessing, and living through the phenomena that engaged them as
they occurred.
For these reasons and more, Seminal Sociological Writings: From
Comte to Weber is an important resource that can serve as either a
primary or ancillary text in courses on theory, and will enlighten
all scholars and laypersons interested in the birth and development
of the social sciences.
