Call to Sociology

Sociology is a field of social science with many "amateurs" or "enthusiasts"... Anyone can feel qualified to say something about "society". Peter Berger, one of the most important living theorists of sociology, does not discourage sociology "amateurs" in this book - on the contrary. Even with its title, the book invites everyone to sociology, to think about sociology, and to be interested in sociology. By calling it a "humanist discipline", Berger wants to emphasize that sociology is related to all human interests and curiosities. According to him, sociology is, first of all, an individual endeavor, an area of interest – for everyone… He is an exciting intellectual
adventure…
Berger also treats sociology as a "type of consciousness", a perspective: A perspective that allows seeing "the human within society, the society within humans"... A part of the book also deals with the ethical meaning and criteria of sociology. Examples of the sociology of religion, which is the author's area of expertise, make themselves felt not only in this chapter but throughout the book.
It is a book that reflects the approach of an important theorist about sociology, is inviting to those who are curious, and manages to appeal to both experts and "beginners".
