Description

The Theory of Sociology is a seminal work by Franklin Henry Giddings, first published in 1894. This book is considered a classic in the field of sociology and is still widely read and cited today. In it, Giddings presents his theory of sociology as a science that seeks to understand the social world through the systematic study of human behavior and interaction. He argues that sociology is distinct from other social sciences, such as psychology or economics, because it focuses on the larger social structures and processes that shape individual behavior. Giddings also explores the role of the individual in society, emphasizing the importance of social norms and values in shaping human behavior. He argues that social norms are not simply imposed from above, but are also created and maintained by individuals through their interactions with one another. This perspective on social norms and values has been influential in shaping the field of sociology and has been widely debated and discussed by scholars in the years since the book's publication.Overall, The Theory of Sociology is a foundational text in the field of sociology and an important contribution to our understanding of human society and behavior. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history and development of sociology as a discipline.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
