Sociological Theory
Jayme Gomes Neto
Kommentar
Broadly conceived, the theoretical activity can be characterized as the attempt to go beyond what is immediately given, to render it intelligible to the mind, and to articulate its parts under a certain framework so that some understanding or explanation can be achieved. To engage in “theory”
is thus a crucial part of any intellectual or scientific endeavour. Yet the task of dealing with theory in the humanities and social sciences is an intricate and multifaceted one. Indeed, all sorts of social thinkers and schools of thought have developed strategies for theory construction so as to properly understand and explain the aspects of social reality they were interested in. To get to grips with social theory is the challenge of this series of lectures.
The course has two goals. The first one is to present in a historical fashion some of the crucial theoretical traditions in sociology and social sciences – from classics to postmodern approaches – and their context of emergence. The second, more specific goal is to discuss in some detail the internal logic informing such theoretical developments in sociology. With this in mind, the expectation is that by the end of these Lectures, students can develop a fundamental repertoire so they are able to autonomously navigate theoretical discourse and use theories more competently in their own research.
