Sociological Relevance of Primordial School of Social Theory

More about the book

Sociology has been conceived as a western intellectual enterprise and this myth has been extensively reproduced by intellectuals who engage in social theorizing within the parameters of modernist episteme. In this work we have attempted to deconstruct this myth by proposing primordial school of social theory represented by Morteza Muttahari and Seyed M. H. Beheshti who have been mainly neglected in global discourses of social theory. Of course this is the first step of a long journey which needs to be traversed by students of social sciences who are looking for dialog among competing schools of sociology which have not been accounted in the works of Giddens, Habermas, Ritzer, Turner or Weber.
