This captivating book delves into a profound transformation within the realm of sociology, marked by a shift away from the classical aspiration of transcending partiality through the establishment of a science of society. Despite facing formidable challenges to the notion of objectivity, sociology has grappled with the pressures of political ideologies and the growing demand for policy-oriented research, which has positioned it as a provider of intellectual content for political programs. In response to this pressing question, The Future of Sociology poses a thought-provoking inquiry: Is the current situation a result of an intellectual exhaustion or could it be indicative of a deeper failure within the very program of establishing sociology as a science?
The book takes a rigorous and critical approach to addressing these challenges, carefully examining the core idea of transcending ideology and assessing its relevance in the contemporary context. It raises important questions about whether the pursuit of theories that are both explanatory and grounded in empirical reality remains a worthwhile endeavor, and whether there is still room for making sociology a rigorous and scientific discipline.
This book will appeal to a wide range of scholars and students, including those engaged in sociology, social theory, and social scientific methodology. It offers valuable insights and perspectives on the evolving landscape of sociology, providing a thought-provoking foundation for future research and discussions.
