Synopsis

In this book Bruce Mazlish examines the historical origins of sociology, especially in terms of its relationship to the humanities and to economics. He is particularly concerned with how omnipresent substitution of money for personal relations changed the nature of human relations in the nineteenth century. He examines the works of Wordsworth, Edmund Burke, Adam Smith, Thomas Carlyle, and particularly novelists such as Dickens, Elizabeth Gaskell, and George Eliot, and Benjamin Disraeli. Mazlish explores the influence of Darwin and his theories and presents Engels and Marx as precursors of the science of sociology. He then discusses the major founding figures of sociology: August Comte, Ferdinand Tonnies, Georg Simmel, Emile Durkheim, and Max Weber.

Revue de presse

'energetic and learned' Times Literary Supplement

'thoroughly engaging, breathing new life into a distinctly jaded subject ... The richness of the cultural references, and the urgency of the arguments, make A New Science an excellent text book for undergraduates. The passionate concern to make the history of the social sciences a matter of moral and political importance for today ought to ensure that the book also commands the attention of teachers in a number of disciplines.' Graham McCann, King's College, Cambridge, Social History of Medicine, Volume 3, Number 3, December 1990
