In this book, leading sociologists expand the scope of their
discipline by revealing the sociological aspects of the works of
great philosophers, scientists, and writers. Sociologists have long
recognized that sociological insight can be gleaned from creative
thinkers outside their formal discipline. Sociological Insights of
Great Thinkers: Sociology through Literature, Philosophy, and
Science captures and examines those insights in 32 essays that
discuss scholars and writers not normally associated with any
sociological school of thought. Following a tradition of enriching
the sociological toolkit by finding influence in philosophy and
literature, the volume's contributors—an international group of
renowned scholars—eschew biography to focus solely on
sociological interpretations that can be drawn from the work of
many of history's preeminent thinkers. Among the book's subjects
are philosophers such as Aristotle, Plato, Kant, and Cassirer;
scientists such as Darwin and Galileo; and authors such as Kafka,
Proust, and Shakespeare. The essays not only allow readers to see
such thinkers in a new light, but underscore the fact that
sociological questions have lain at the very heart of humanity
throughout history.
