Alatas, Farid Syed creator author Sinha, Vineeta enk 2017 2017 eng x, 391 pages ; 22 cm This book expands the sociological canon by introducing non-Western and female voices, and subjects the existing canon itself to critique. Including chapters on both the 'founding fathers' of sociology and neglected thinkers it highlights the biases of Eurocentrism and androcentrism, while also offering much-needed correctives to them. The authors challenge a dominant account of the development of sociological theory which would have us believe that it was only Western European and later North American white males in the nineteenth and early twentieth century who thought in a creative and systematic manner about the origins and nature of the emerging modernity of their time. This integrated and contextualised account seeks to restructure the ways in which we theorise the emergence of the classical sociological canon. This book's global scope fills a significant lacuna and provides a unique teaching resource to students of classical sociological theory. -- From back cover Introduction: Eurocentrism, Androcentrism and Sociological Theory; Rethinking Social Theory / Syed Farid Alatas and Vineeta Sinha -- Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) / Syed Farid Alatas -- Karl Marx (1818-1883) / Syed Farid Alatas -- Harriet Martineau (1802-1876) / Vineeta Sinha -- Max Weber (1864-1920) / Syed Farid Alatas -- Jos©♭ Rizal (1861-1896) / Syed Farid Alatas -- Emile Durkheim (1858-1917) / Vineeta Sinha -- Said Nursi (1877-1960) / Syed Farid Alatas -- Pandita Ramabai Saraswati (1858-1922) / Vineeta Sinha -- Florence Nightingale (1820-1910) / Vineeta Sinha -- Venoy Kumar Sarkar (1887-1949) / Vineeta Sinha -- Epilogue / Syed Farid Alatas and Vineeta Sina Syed Farid Alatas, Vineeta Sinha Includes bibliographical references (pages 345-373) and index Sociology Philosophy Sociology History B63 Alatas, Syed Farid.
