Items related to Science of Society (Minerva S.)
Two main criteria have guided the selection and presentation of the material for this text-book. Firstly, there is the claim that sociology is a science. Throughout, the emphasis has been on presenting sociological perspectives rather than conveying a mass of factual information. Science is essentially analytical. And sociology, if it is to justify its claim to be a science, must be more than simply 'political arithmetic', counting heads and providing demographic data for governments. Secondly, science, like other intellectual activities, can be exciting. The emphasis throughout is on the sociological study of industrial society, with particular reference to modern England. After an introductory discussion of sociological perspectives, there are chapters on each of the major sub-systems of society; the family, the educational system, the economy, the political system and belief systems. The book ends with three chapters on major social processes: social differentiation and stratification, organization, and finally, social change, including a discussion of deviancy and disorganization.

Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Second Impression. It is not the task of sociology to provide to the problems of the world. Nor should an introductory text be overpreoccupied with current intellectual fashions. However, one way in which topicality and relevance can be saved from obsolescence is by relating contemporary issues to larger themes. Problems of order and freedom, of the extent to which man is moulded by society or is able to shape his own destiny - these are the perennial themes of philosophy which can be illuminated by sociological analysis. 314 pp. Slight foxing to end pages and edge.
