2266 - Sociology and Philosophy in Conversation

Session Submission Type: Invited Session

Description

Sociology was born, in part, via engagement with philosophy, and sociological thinkers routinely engage philosophical themes. What are the particular points of communication between philosophy and sociology today? How can philosophical concerns with epistemology and ontology inform social theory, and vice versa? How can sociologists and philosophers think together about definitions and conceptualizations, evidence and argument? And what might we say about the intersection of political philosophy and empirical sociology?
