Discourse and Knowledge: The Making of Enlightenment Sociology, Volume 1This work aims to offer an original interpretation of the rise of sociology from a contemporary point of view that is both theoretically and historically formed. Rather than assuming the dual revolution as watershed, it goes back behind the French Revolution and the industrial revolution in order to start from the more pervasive communication revolution. |
