Classical Sociological Theory

eds. Craig Calhoun, Joseph Gerteis, James Moody, Steve Pfaff and Indermohan Virk

This comprehensive collection of classical sociological theory is a definitive guide to the roots of sociology. Updated throughout, this second edition contains readings which provide clear introductions to classical theory, providing examples and showing connections to current sociology. The volume explores the pioneering minds of Marx, Durkheim, and Weber, who developed our modern idea of society, and looks at the powerful influence of the works of early sociologists Mead, Simmel, and Du Bois. It concludes with the major works and theoretical perspectives of the mid-twentieth century, including those of Adorno, Marcuse, Parsons, and Merton. Buy from Amazon
