The purpose of "The Oxford General Reader: Sociological Consciousness" is not to provide readers with an overview of sociology, but to present a sociological consciousness. Introducing the study of social class, crime and abnormality, working methods in bureaucracies, and changes in religious and political organizations, the author explores the tension between people's roles in society and society's shaping of individuals, and demonstrates the unique value of sociology as a perspective in understanding the modern world.
