The science of sociology promotes a better understanding of the human condition through the study of social facts, or realities, transcending the individual level.
Confronting an anti-intellectual age of psychic hotlines and talk show zoos, which cuts across social class boundaries while exploiting the poor and their problems for economic profit, sociology advocates the use of the scientific (deductive-inductive) method and critical thinking in the systematic examination of human society, culture, groups, and, above all (as I see it), social structure. Click here for a brief, if somewhat technical, discussion of my basic theoretical perspective. It focuses on social structures as frameworks of collective consciousness and is, partially, inspired by the views of Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, Pitirim Sorokin, Georg Hegel, and Erving Goffman. This material might be more appropriate for my colleagues than for my students.
