Invitation to Sociology

"Invitation to Sociology" explores the humanist tradition and essential affinity of sociology with history and philosophy. In this book, author Peter L. Berger illustrates how sociology contributes to a fuller awareness of the human world, discussing the consciousness in relation to social institutions and an individual's makeup as a product of these institutions. The book provides a witty and incisive outlook in a lucid and lively writing style, intended for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the broader implications and dimensions of sociology.
