The Range of Social Theory

By: House, Floyd N.

"The Range of Social Theory" is an extensive survey and analysis of the development of sociological thought and theory as it stood in the early twentieth century. Written by Floyd N. House, this work provides a systematic mapping of the field, exploring the diverse methodologies and philosophical underpinnings that define the study of human society. The text serves as a bridge between historical social philosophy and the then-emerging scientific rigor of modern sociology.

Throughout the volume, House examines the intersections of sociology with other disciplines such as psychology, ethics, and economics, providing a clear overview of the concepts of social evolution, group dynamics, and institutional development. By categorizing various schools of thought, the author helps readers navigate the complex landscape of social inquiry. "The Range of Social Theory" remains a significant historical document for those interested in the roots of social science, offering a comprehensive look at how scholars once sought to explain the intricacies of human interaction and social structure during a transformative period of intellectual history.
