This book argues that the foundations of sociology - key concepts
which are necessary to all sociology, from whatever perspective - have
become taken-for-granted and require re-assessment. Focusing on
society, culture, the individual, and collectivity, the author builds
a powerful case for an overhaul of these basic concepts, offering a
unified model of the subject matter of sociology as 'the human world'
- understood as individual, interactional and institutional orders -
which is part of the 'natural world'. Written in a straightforward and
accessible style, this is a powerful restatement of the value of
sociological sense as a necessary critique of common sense, and its
relevance to an audience far beyond academia.
