The Social Compulsions of Ideas: Toward a Sociological Analysis of Knowledge

Couverture
Transaction Publishers - 232 pages
This volume collects Gerard DeGr's writings, spanning four decades of activity. From his thesis on the theory of semiotics in Sorokin and Spengler to his later writings drawing a sharp distinction between the sociology of knowledge and sociological theories of knowledge, DeGr remains sensitive to the place of language in knowledge formation.
