This handbook articulates how sociology can re-engage its roots as
the scientific study of human moral systems, actions, and
interpretation. This second volume builds on the successful
original volume published in 2010, which contributed to the
initiation of a new section of the American Sociological
Association (ASA), thus growing the field. This volume takes
sociology back to its roots over a century ago, when morality was a
central topic of work and governance. It engages scholars from
across subfields in sociology, representing each section of the
ASA, who each contribute a chapter on how their subfield connects
to research on morality. This reference work appeals to
broader readership than was envisaged for the first volume, as the
relationship between sociology as a discipline and its origins in
questions of morality is further renewed. The volume editors focus
on three areas: the current state of the sociology of morality
across a range of sociological subfields; taking a new look at some
of the issues discussed in the first handbook, which are now
relevant in sometimes completely new contexts; and reflecting on
where the sociology of morality should go next. This is a
must-read reference for students and scholars interested in topics
of morality, ethics, altruism, religion, and spirituality from
across the social science. Â Â Â
