This book argues that of today’s ‘core’ social scientific disciplines, it is sociology that has inherited the capacious ambitions of the Scottish Enlightenment. The Roots of Sociology offers a critical, qualified introduction to the precocious effort of the Scottish Enlightenment to create a theory of ‘the civilising process’.
