DESCRIPTION
This module will introduce you to some of the main questions raised by sociologists. In doing so, the module invites you to explore significant aspects of the origins and development of social inquiry by engaging directly with specific pieces of writings by a number of key thinkers who have established what has been called the ?sociological tradition?. You are also invited to examine a number of relevant commentators. Together these writings will provide the material for you to enjoy familiarity with, and deepened understanding of, some key concepts as well as be exposed to the diversity of approaches to the study of human society. In general, therefore, the Module encourages you to develop what C Wright Mills famously described as ?the sociological imagination?.
