What are the aims of sociology? What are its objects of study? How
relevant is the classical tradition to the practice of sociology
today? This volume brings together internationally renowned and new
scholars to consider the changing relationship between contemporary
and classical sociology. Arguing that recent historical and
theoretical developments make reconsideration timely, it suggests
that whilst the classical tradition has a continuing pertinence, it
is inevitably subject to ongoing reconfiguration. Assessing the
explanatory value of classical and contemporary forms of sociology,
interrogating social theory as both a form of explanation and a
mode of practice, and considering the possible consequences for the
discipline of questions about its subject matter, Sociological
Objects steers a course between assertions about radical
epistemological breaks on the one hand, and reverence for the
classical tradition on the other. Rather, it emphasizes the value
of reworking, reconsidering and reconfiguring sociological thought.
