About this title

Synopsis

By closely analysing the contributions of such theorists as More, Hobbes, Vico, Montesquieu, Ferguson and Millar to the emergence of sociology in its original form, Piet Strydom follows the discursive construction of sociology in the context of the society-wide early modern practical discourse about violence and rights. Parallels with the nineteenth- and twentieth-century discourse on poverty and justice and the contemporary discourse of risk and responsibility allow the author to reflect not only on the generation of knowledge through discourse but also on the role that sociology itself plays in this process.

About the Author

Piet Strydom was born in 1946 in Pretoria of parents from the Cape Province and grew up in Cape Town and the Cape wine lands. he core of the research programme he has been pursuing since the late 1970s is focused on the cognitive transformation and embedding of Apel and Habermas' normative approach and is aimed at a systematic new critical pragmatic cognitive sociology.
