Sociological Thinkers is a text book on sociological thought which critically elucidates the social and intellectual background; and contributions of Comte, Marx, Spencer, Weber, Durkheim and Parsons. The book, which is divided into six chapters, explains about the life and work of the sociological thinkers, the focus of their attention and the general flow of their orientation through an elucidation of their sociological contributions. It provides not just a biographical and theoretical summary of each theorist, but, in addition, an overarching scaffolding which readers can use to examine, compare, and contrast each theorist’s major themes and concepts. The central goal of this book is to be as concise as possible while doing justice to a wide variety of theorists.
The cornerstone of writing this book is to help readers develop their critical thinking skills about the sociological theories. Sociological Thinkers is not a replacement for the full texts in the original. It is, however, an enticement, whetting the appetite for further exploration of the masters of sociological thought. With a veritable mine of information, this book will prove vade mecum to the undergraduate and postgraduate students of Sociology and other related disciplines.
