Christianity and Sociological Theory: Reclaiming the Promise
Contemporary sociological theories
Humanism
Humanism, a philosophical movement that affirms the dignity of the human being, originated in Italy in the second half of the fourteenth century. While the twelfth and thirteenth centuries had been dominated by the philosophical school of scholasticism (philosophy taught by the “schoolmen” of medieval universities who tried to reconcile the philosophy of the ancient classical philosophers with medieval Christian theology), by the fourteenth centu…

Hull House is generally acknowledged to be the first settlement house in the United States. Founded in 1899 by Jane Addams and her college friend, Ellen Gates Starr, Hull House was located on Halsted Street in one of the poorest and most ethnically diverse sections of Chicago. From its inception, the main purpose of Hull House was to help the residents of the nearby neighborhoods (populated predominantly by recent Italian, Jewish, Greek, German, …
Organized Crime in the U nited S tates
Organized crime in the United States is generally traced to Sicilian immigrants who came to the United States in the latter part of the nineteenth century. Prohibition set in motion the organization of Italian dominated organized crime; however, by the 1980s the Italians no longer controlled organized crime, giving way to more recent immigrant groups. Two major theoretical positions are presented to explain ethnic involvement in organized crime: …

Jane Addams: The First Humanist Sociologist
Les AA. se penchent ici sur l'oeuvre de Jane Addams, dont le pragmatisme critique et l'influence qu'elle a exercee sur l'Ecole de sociologie de Chicago, lui valent d'etre consideree comme precurseur de la sociologie humaniste. Guidee par un imperatif moral, elle estimait que le role de la sociologie est d'aider les gens a mener une vie meilleure, et sa vie a ete un temoignage vivant de l'application de ce principe, notamment a travers sa particip…

Pragmatism and the Americanization of Humanist Sociology
L'A. tente de montrer que la theorie sociologique humaniste, contrairement a d'autres theories radicales, a ses racines dans la tradition intellectuelle Americaine, et en particulier dans le Pragmatisme Americain. Il opere notamment une distinction entre la theorie critique developpee par l'Ecole de Francfort et la sociologie humaniste. L'A. montre en quoi la sociologie humaniste va au-dela de l'ecole du Pragmatisme en ce qui concerne la reflexio…
Humanist Sociological Theory and the Problem of Evil
The Executive Way: Conflict Management in Corporations.Calvin Morrill
What is conflict resolution
The study of conflict is as old as antiquity; and, with the exception of love and God, arguably more has been written on conflict than on any other subject. Yet systematic inquiry into conflict is more recent, and is usually traced to the works of Karl Marx and Max Weber. Intervening in conflicts to try to resolve them is an even more recent development, emerging only over the last quarter century. The systematic study of conflict and the practic…

Paying Homage to the Father: C. Wright Mills and Radical Sociology
Radical sociologists have, in general, failed to produce a substantive social theory out of which their critique of society can be mounted. The only alternative to what is perceived as conservative Structural-Functionalism are diverse forms of Marxism, which as yet have not been synthesized into any cohesive model that can posit an adequate notion of social structure, without, at the same time, sacrificing the active, volitional side of man.This …
