A lively, accessible and comprehensive introduction to the diverse
ways of thinking about social life, Sociology: The Basics has been
translated into six languages. The volume is packed with
thought-provoking summaries, questions, quotations and activities.
It offers an absorbing narrative about what we mean by the social,
and how we can think about it, weaving in discussions of the
personal, the political and social change, along with concepts and
vivid contemporary examples, and answering questions such as: What
is the scope, history and purpose of sociology? How do we cultivate
ways of understanding society and 'the social'? What is the state
of the world we live in today? How do we analyse suffering and
inequalities? What are key methods and tools for researching and
thinking about society? How has digitalism reshaped sociology and
its method? How might sociology help us understand the changes
brought about by Covid-19? Does sociology have values? What is the
role of sociology in making a better world? In this thoroughly
revised and updated Third edition the reader is encouraged to think
critically about the structures, meanings, histories and cultures
found in the rapidly changing world we live in. With tasks to
stimulate the sociological mind and suggestions for further reading
both within the text and on an accompanying website, this book is
essential reading for all those studying sociology and those with
an interest in how the modern world works.
