history of philosophy of sociology  

Définition

  • Philosophy and sociology have a complex and intertwined historical relationship. Early figures in sociology, such as Auguste Comte (1798–1857), the inventor of the term, also figure in the history of philosophy of science as the inventors of “positivism.” In this case, the philosophy served as a methodological warrant for the claim that the “sociological” theories of Comte were “scientific,” and the problem of justifying particular forms of sociology as “science” was a persistent theme in both philosophical writing on social science and the field of sociology itself.
