Abstract:

The title of this book might seem rather ‘provocative’, or maybe too ambitious, or perhaps even naïve. Why should and how could sociology be concerned with the individual? And perhaps more importantly, why should such an area of investigation merit a distinct place within sociology? If we could agree that sociology refers to the scientific study of human life, social groups, whole societies and the human world, then why should there be a separate concern about the sociological investigation of the individual? Shouldn’t this be a psychological rather than sociological area of investigation?
