Description

Continually praised for its conversational tone, personal examples, and helpful pedagogical tools, the exciting Third Edition of Kenneth Allan′s Explorations in Classical Sociological Seeing the Social World has been reorganized around the modern ideas of progress, knowledge, and democracy.  With a historical thread woven throughout the chapters, the book presents a diverse selection of major classical marx, Spencer, Durkheim, Weber, Simmel, Mead, Schutz, Martineau Gilman, Du Bois, and Parsons.  Author Kenneth Allan focuses on the specific views of each theorist, rather than schools of thought, and highlights modernity and postmodernity to help readers understand how classical theory applies to their lives.
