Introduction to the Science of Sociology (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a milestone in the development of the human sciences, first developed the concept and framework for the discipline of Sociology, the study of societies and their behavior. The author, widely credited as the "father of sociology," examines the history of thought in relation to social and scientific inquiry, proposing that all knowledge falls into three main categories: theological (based on dogma), metaphysical (based on abstract principles), and positive (based on scientific method). His concept of a "hierarchy of sciences" placed sociology at the pinnacle of scientific thought, a position it largely retains today. This pioneering work set the stage for a wide-ranging examination of social dynamics, and its insights continue to inform contemporary sociological theory. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332597406_0
