To Be or Not to Be Sociological - Dev Nath Pathak - Bog

What does it mean to be sociological? This is not a rhetorical question since it leads to unearthing the prevalent ways of seeing in the discipline of sociology, taking notes of the content and discontent, disputes and debates. Intellectual theatrics embedded in sociology, philosophy, and history of sciences, helmed with insights and enchantment, compel us to treat methodology as a dramatically invigorating field of perceptions and practices. This book marshals such varied materials to wishfully unsettle the gingerly settled debates to curate ruptures for further explorations. Experience thus becomes an intriguing episteme and knowledge, a reflexive endeavour. The message writ large is that methodology is not, and shall not be, a finished product unless parochialism and progress have become synonymous in sociology in India and South Asia.
