Sociology through Relation

The book offers an in-depth exploration of relational perspectives in sociology, tracing historical debates primarily rooted in the French tradition. It examines key figures like Emile Durkheim, Gaston Richard, and Pierre Bourdieu, focusing on concepts such as solidarity, sacrifice, and the dynamics of social exchanges. By comparing various theorists, the author constructs a theoretical framework that emphasizes the significance of relationships in understanding social cohesion and the complexities of social interactions.
