Description

Crisis in Sociology by Routledge offers a deep look into the current challenges facing the field of sociology. The authors present a compelling portrait of the discipline's troubles and suggest a controversial remedy to address long-standing issues. According to the text, the roots of this crisis can be traced back to the over-ambitious goals set by the original founders of the discipline. For generations, sociologists have struggled to focus on the specific tasks required to establish sociology as a true social science. A primary concern raised in this work is the failure to identify even a single general law or principle. This lack of foundational principles makes it difficult to organize empirical observations systematically or to guide research through falsifiable hypotheses. This book provides a necessary critique for students, researchers, and academics looking to understand the structural needs of modern sociology.
