Introduction to Pragmatic Sociology

This book is a translation of the book by Mohamed Nashi titled Introduction a la sociologie pragmatique. This translation falls within a line drawn by the translator himself, aiming to bring closer the ongoing discussions in the field of social sciences. In general, and sociology in particular. After a successful first experience, this book now presents to the Arab reader a new sociological current that is worth attention, namely pragmatic sociology. which is experiencing unprecedented success. This "new" approach, launched by, among other writers, Louis Poultanski and Laurent Tifno, aims to go beyond the usual opposition between individual and collective. Through the integration of contributions from various European theories (Durkheim, Weber, Bourdieu...) and American (Chomsky, Garfinkel, Goffman...) into a single theoretical model over more than two decades of speculation and work, has led to the construction of a strong and innovative analytical model. Providing a clear and educational summary that offers everyone significant references and essential keys for interpretation is the challenge that Mohamed Nashi undertook, analyzing critically the epistemological assumptions and what empirical research has achieved, strengthening the gains and highlighting the productivity of this "sociological" approach in addressing issues of justice and social critique, consensus problems, legal and moral issues in general. This book is aimed at bachelor's and master's students in the humanities and social sciences in general, and especially those following a training path in sociology, philosophy, and law. It is also directed to anyone seeking new tools to help understand current problems in our societies.
