Updated throughout, this second edition includes selected readings which provide clearer introductions to classical theory, providing examples and showing connections to current sociology. This title
s approach of giving substantial primary source texts rather than merely
snippets,
and backing these up with generous introductions, is maintained in this new edition. There is an entirely new section with new readings on the immediate
pre–history
of sociological theory, including the Enlightenment and de Tocqueville. Editorial introductions lend historical and intellectual perspective to the readings, making this an authoritative and compact survey of the most representative works of classical social theory, and an essential text for undergraduate courses.
Classical Sociological Theory , in conjunction with its complement,
Contemporary Sociological Theory , offers readers a complete overview of sociological theory.
