About this book
The question, "What is society?" is one that was pondered long before there was such a word as sociology. This book shows some of the ways mankind has answered that question throughout history. The range is from Plato and Aristotle to more modern leading figures--Znaniecki, Park, Sorokin, Maclver, Mannheim, Lundberg, Becker, Parsons--and the introduction by Robert Biersted traces the history of sociological theory.
