Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
Students of the social sciences learn a lot about theoretical concepts, their definitions and empirical aplications. But what is behind such concepts as charismatic, authority, anomie, receit knowledge, role, mobility, stratification, attitude, etc.? How and why were these concepts formed? Which knowledge interest lies behind them and what was the context which made these concepts possible?Today many sociologists agree on the fact that theoretical concepts are based in methodological thought. They are constructed vis à vis an already constituted social reality and are related to it in a heuristic manner.In the course we will work on case studies taken from sociological theory in order to discuss the process of theory formation.
