Hello friends :) Spoiler doesn't even have an S :)
As its name suggests, it is an academic work written on 'sociological thinking'. It is a useful starting book for those interested in behavioral sciences. It deals with sociological theories in terms of determining a method and revealing the social manifestations of daily events, without touching too much on confusing philosophical thoughts. It has a narrative that explains cause and effect relationships. It is a work that examines in fine detail the relationship of sociology with other sciences (more precisely, why it is seen as a science or not) and the points where it differs from them, and reveals the necessity of sociology and its consistent and inconsistent aspects. It is especially notable for its very clear explanation. Explaining the topics he covers with examples that everyone can understand makes the work more useful. After reading it, we will gain a wide-scale development of thought, from the color of the traffic lights we see every day to the discourses created by political leaders, and we will be able to analyze the events we encounter in a social context to a certain extent. I believe we will get closer. I also believe that following Bauman's book recommendations at the end of the book will expand our knowledge of sociology. Apart from the enthusiasm in the language of the book, the fluency in its explanation and the tremendous success in translation, I cannot help but mention the printing quality of Ayrıntı Publications. Enjoy reading...
