Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Pure sociology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pure Sociology is, objectively, an entirely new way to conduct sociology. Virtually all previous (and other) sociology addresses either mental constructs (psychology), the purposes of action (teleology), or individuals as such - and most of it does all three. Pure Sociology reconceptualizes social behavior as something that doesn't exist in the mind, is not explainable. That may sound Durkheimian but, as Black has said, the approach is "more Durkheimian than Durkheim". (By contrast, Durkheim, for example, ultimately explains suicide as the internal, individualistic response to one of several kinds of social context.) Pure Sociology is an invention, and has a growing school of theoretical practitioners, whom I'll add to a references list. Airumel
