Classical Sociological Theory: A Positivist's Perspective
Wadsworth Publishing Company (1993)
Abstract
The theme of this collection of articles by Jonathan Turner is that sociology can be a true science, and it can develop abstract laws explaining the operative dynamics of the social universe. Rather that blindly worshipping sociology's masters, however, Turner attempts to reinvent sociology as a science that learns the valuable lessons of classical theory and then moves on.Author's Profile
