Social Philosophy audiobooks
How societies hold together — and fall apart.
Early sociology and social thought: Gustave Le Bon on crowds, Émile Durkheim, William Graham Sumner, Charles Horton Cooley, Franz Boas, Harriet Martineau, Jane Addams and Thomas Carlyle. These writers tried to explain custom, class, religion and mass behaviour in an age of cities and newspapers — questions that feel newly urgent.
