Description

Explore a profound examination of social theory with Towards a Critical Sociology (Routledge Revivals): An Essay on Commonsense and Imagination. Originally published in 1976, this work by Professor Bauman offers a deep look into the historical roots of sociology and its relationship with commonsense. Bauman examines how sociology has often shared the same assumptions as commonsense, treating society as having a nature-like character. He explores how this perspective has shaped the field into a science of unfreedom. This book goes beyond standard theory to look at how new trends in sociology, stemming from phenomenology and existentialism, interact with these established views. Rather than challenging the preoccupation with commonsense, Bauman argues that these newer trends actually deepen it by focusing on how commonsense is sustained and embedded in routine. This text is an essential read for students and scholars interested in the foundations of sociological thought and the tension between everyday perception and academic study.
