This book expands the sociological canon by introducing non-Western
and female voices, and subjects the existing canon itself to
critique. Including chapters on both the 'founding fathers' of
sociology and neglected thinkers it highlights the biases of
Eurocentrism and androcentrism, while also offering much-needed
correctives to them. The authors challenge a dominant account of
the development of sociological theory which would have us believe
that it was only Western European and later North American white
males in the nineteenth and early twentieth century who thought in
a creative and systematic manner about the origins and nature of
the emerging modernity of their time. This integrated and
contextualised account seeks to restructure the ways in which we
theorise the emergence of the classical sociological canon. This
book's global scope fills a significant lacuna and provides a
unique teaching resource to students of classical sociological
theory.
