Sociological insights of great thinkers : sociology through literature, philosophy, and science / Christofer Edling and Jens Rydgren, editors.

Edling, Christofer. (Added Author). Rydgren, Jens. (Added Author).

Summary:

Sociology is customarily defined as the study of society and human social interaction. Some of its ideas come from formal research, undertaken by degreed practitioners. Yet the musings that underlie the discipline are the very same subjects that inspire the novelist, the philosopher, and even the scientist. What can the works of such individuals add to the sociological canon?
