Recent critiques treat humanism as a mistaken value framework.
Indeed, the concept of human nature is in fact essential for
sociology, but is often being denied at the same time as it appears
without acknowledgement. While classic authors can show us how to
connect an ethics with a concept of human nature, current humanists
must tackle the sociobiological view of human nature and
interrogate humanism in the light of the ecological crisis.
Humanist Realism for Sociologists both explains and explores some
of the main arguments surrounding humanism put forward by classic
social theorists such as Aristotle, Marx and Weber, as well as more
contemporary authors, such as Braidotti, Oakley, Weedon, Firestone,
Connell, Flyvjberg, Foucault and Bourdieu. A must-have tool for
understanding how value perspectives cannot be eliminated from the
social sciences, this book is essential for undergraduates,
postgraduates and postdoctoral researchers interested in the fields
of sociology, anthropology, women's studies, social work, human
geography, political philosophy and ecology.
