The autonomous, the universal and the future of sociology
Article Abstract:
The universal concepts of sociology form the basic foundation of the discipline that is found in all human societies and is valid for all times as it is in the studies of these unique historical phenomena that the autonomous tradition has its roots. It is found that the non-western world is lacking an autonomous social science tradition, generated and developed by local scholars, guided by the selection of problems from within the society, applying an independent concept of relevance in the collection and accumulation of research data and comparative attention to problems outside the country or region.
