Ten Questions: A Sociological Perspective

This text introduces and examines sociological principles by posing and answering in each chapter questions such as: what does it mean to be human?; are human beings free?; and why is there misery in the world? The book examines the philosophies of classical sociologists such as Marx, Weber, Durkheim, Mead, and Berger and looks at how the field of sociology has approached these questions over the past 150 years.
