{"product_id":"the-sociological-heritage-of-the-tams-demeter-9781399512336","title":"The Sociological Heritage of the Scottish Enlightenment","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book provides answers to two sorts of questions. It explores, on the one hand, how and what sociological ideas were developed in the Scottish Enlightenment. And, on the other hand, how the ideas of the Scottish Enlightenment would emerge and develop in subsequent traditions of sociology. Scottish Enlightenment thinkers developed and refined a descriptive-explanatory approach and methodology to explore social and economic processes - an approach that was different from the normative and justificatory aspirations of seventeenth- and eighteenth-century social and political philosophies. This distinct contribution of the Scottish Enlightenment is frequently overlooked, even if some of its central figures are acknowledged as important forerunners of contemporary social sciences. \u003cbr\u003eThis book offers a synoptic view on individual contributions and a connective view of theoretical achievements that are otherwise typically treated in isolation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tam?s Demeter\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399512331\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399512336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.94d","brand":"Tam?s Demeter","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46070420111615,"sku":"9781399512336","price":140.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_520d58dc-be00-49bf-abe5-2e713cd0e1bb.jpg?v=1724243213","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-sociological-heritage-of-the-tams-demeter-9781399512336","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
