Beschreibung
This book explores the ways in which sociological arguments are constructed and presented, looking at what can be learned from the contrasting styles of sociologists working in different periods and theoretical traditions. Fundamental debates in the discipline are addressed, such as 'can sociology provide final answers?' and 'how far is detachment feasible or desirable?'. Finally, the book considers the practical significance which thinking about styles of argument has for all students of sociology.
Fresh approach to theory which doesn't get bogged down in isms or heavy schematisation
Gives a sense of sociology as an active debate which anyone can join
Gives a real flavour of the character of the writers, their writing style and main themes
Offers students clear contrasts and parallels between writers in a clear and easy structure
