false 879073 2 The updated version of Collins's critically-acclaimed Three Sociological Traditions, this text presents a concise intellectual history of sociology organized around the development of four classic schools of thought: the conflict tradition of Marx and Weber, the ritual solidarity of Durkheim, the microinteractionist tradition of Mead, Blumer, and Garfinkel, and--new to this edition--the utilitarian/rational choice tradition. Collins, one of the liveliest and most exciting writers in sociology today, traces the intellectual highlights of these four main schools from classical theories to current developments, introducing the roots of sociology and indicating the areas where progress has been made in our understanding, the areas where controversy still exists, and the direction in which sociology is headed. 864394 3 3 1994 Four Sociological Traditions total:10|5:3|4:2|3:5| 10 38 22 0 0 0 false false Tue Jul 28 19:24:25 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 28 19:24:25 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jul 16 10:19:57 -0700 2009 Thu Jul 16 10:19:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Oct 06 11:36:59 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 21:24:07 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 11:37:00 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Wed May 27 13:00:12 -0700 2009 Wed May 27 13:00:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 09 03:51:04 -0700 2009 Sat May 09 03:51:04 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 08 07:31:50 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 07:31:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Apr 08 07:31:37 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 08 07:31:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Mar 28 11:41:59 -0700 2009 Sat Mar 28 11:41:59 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun May 03 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Feb 26 15:12:46 -0800 2009 Sun May 17 21:28:21 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Dec 19 22:42:01 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 19 22:42:01 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Dec 12 09:34:38 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 09:34:39 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Dec 12 09:34:36 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 09:34:37 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Fri Nov 07 15:24:10 -0800 2008 Fri Nov 07 15:24:10 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Oct 18 21:40:59 -0700 2008 Sat Oct 18 21:41:03 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Jun 18 00:48:23 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 18 00:48:23 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sun Jun 08 08:18:04 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 08 08:18:04 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue May 20 09:40:06 -0700 2008 Tue May 20 09:40:08 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Mar 08 14:09:10 -0800 2008 Sat Mar 08 14:09:16 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Sat Oct 20 16:40:08 -0700 2007 Sat Oct 20 16:40:08 -0700 2007 5 0 true false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Sun Oct 07 07:37:47 -0700 2007 Sun Oct 07 07:41:04 -0700 2007
