[edit] Humanistic Sociology
I have taken three semesters of Humanistic Sociology so in no way am I an expert but I definitely fall into the class of devoted follower. Humanistic Sociology is central to my work as an educator. I would very much like to see this article fixed and expanded.
[edit] the positivisim error and philosophical balance
It is quite wrong to equate Humanistic sociology with positivisim and postmodernisim. The previous article completely contradicted the Antipositivism article. This is the main reason why I have rewritten it. This page now agrees with Antipositivism page description of Humanistic Sociology.
[edit] Historical development
It needs a historical context with the tragic history of Poland in the 20th century. We need to acknowledge the major intellectual contribution of the Polish thinkers such as Zaniecki, Ossowski and Ingarden
[edit] Schools of Humanistic Sociology
It needs a description of the results of the major humanist sociologists Zaniecki, Ossowski ect...
[edit] Results of Humanistic Sociology
It needs a summary of the results of this domain of Sociology, like the dynamics of the interactions of value-systems and how not to confuse Humanistic Sociology with subjects like cultural theory.
[edit] Academic Legacy
The importance of the major domains such as Tradition, Values and Culture and how they have influenced other important domains outside of sociology such as psychology, education and not least political science. Please add contributions
[edit] Postmodernisim
This article is not a diatribe against Postmodernism. I have pointed to the difference, I have not labelled postmodernism as unscientific, like many others. It is important to avoid ontological extremes.
