Produktbeschreibung

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Sociological perspectives, theories, or paradigms, are complex theoretical and methodological frameworks used to analyze and explain an object of social study. Theory is informed by epistemological discussions as to the most reliable and valid methods to use in the conduct of social science. Perspectives also relate to core assumptions regarding the ontological nature of the social world. Theory is thus informed by historical debates over positivism and antipositivism, debates over the primacy of structure and agency, as well as debates relating to other fundamental key concepts in the social sciences and humanities in general. Certain schools of thought, such as structural functionalism, systems theory, and classical structural Marxism, attempt to emphasise scientific objectivity and value neutrality. Other perspectives, such as feminist theory, queer theory, and variants of neo-Marxism, are motivated by normative critique and a concern for the liberation of individuals from forms of oppression and exploitation.
