      Lester F. Ward, a pivotal figure in American sociology, presents a framework that positions sociology as a scientific discipline focused on liberation. He distinguishes between "pure" and "applied" sociology, advocating for a positivist methodology to systematically study the laws governing human society. The book examines social structures, individual agency, and cultural influences, while addressing social differentiation and integration. Ward's foundational ideas have significantly influenced future sociologists and continue to shape contemporary sociological thought.
