Sociological Concepts
This course considers some of the major ideas that have shaped social thinking from the early 1800's until today. These ideas--which include the notions of differentiation, organicism, social critique, alienation, anomie, social disorganization, social system, structuration, agency, habitus, and deconstructionism--will be considered in sociohistorial context. In addition, some of the major metaphors, conceptual methodologies and taxonomies of sociological thought will also be discussed.
