Summary "What is sociology? Simply, it is the study of how society functions, or in some cases, does not function. Various competing schools of sociology have attempted to fit observations of social phenomena into different conceptual systems. Introducing Sociology traces the origins of these systems from Enlightenment thought and the pioneering work of August Comte to subsequent developments in Karl Marx, Herbert Spencer, Emile Durkheim and Max Weber." --Powell's books
