Sociology addresses challenging social issues and seeks new ways to
understand them. However, much sociological terminology suffers
from multiple, vague, or uncertain meanings. This is true of many
of the central terms that sociologists use, such as 'power',
'ideology', 'culture', 'social class', and even 'society'. The
result is that the conclusions reached by sociological
investigations are frequently subject to discrepant
interpretations, and their validity is difficult to assess. The
chapters in this book address several of the key terms employed by
sociologists, examining the concepts associated with them in depth
- from both an historical and an analytical perspective. The aim is
not to develop an entirely new framework but rather to document the
various meanings associated with these terms, and to suggest ways
in which they could be refined or developed for the purposes of
sociological analysis. Since the concepts addressed are of wide
relevance, Troubling Sociological Concepts will be of interest and
use to researchers and students across the social sciences.
