"The Sociological Worldview "is an introduction for the 1990s, offering a much needed contemporary alternative to existing texts on the development of sociological thought.

Rezensionen
"The author's aim in this book is to introduce students to thefield of sociology through the use of some challenging applicationsof the sociological perspective. Restivo's emphasis upo thepervasiveness of society, even in the realms of culture and themind, and his concern for the direction of social evolution, makethis a very refreshing introduction to sociology." RandallCollins, University of California

"Sal Restivo's book is an authentic gem of originality. It iscertainly a marvelous idea to span the field so broadly and toteach that love and mathematics, a pair of concepts that we ar enotaccustomed to see together, can both be studied from a sociologicalperspective. In doing that, Sal Restivo reminds studnets andteachers alike that sociology is above all an anlytical stylerather than a specific content. Well read, offering a compellingsense of historical and cultural relativity, Restivo uses anelegant and robust prose to underline the need t maintain a properdialogue between sociology as a discipline of the mind and ethics."Remi Clignet, University of Maryland
