Tracing development of scientific sociology from Comte onwards, this book provides a narrative history of figures, ideas, and schools that lie behind the work of contemporary sociologists. It describes the convergence of two major streams of sociological thought: a speculative and philosophical tradition and a reformist, fact-finding tradition.
