Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Lester F. Ward, a foundational figure in American sociology, presents a framework that positions sociology as a science aimed at liberation. He distinguishes between "pure" and "applied" sociology, focusing on natural and social laws that govern human behavior. Ward advocates for a positivist methodology to systematically study societal dynamics, individual agency, and cultural influences. His pioneering work laid the groundwork for future sociological research, inspiring scholars who built upon his ideas, and continues to influence contemporary sociological thought.
