Question

The 19th century social scientists credited with being the "second father of sociology"was?

Answer 1

George Herbert Meade

Answer 2

1090 AMERICAN SOCIOLOGICAL REVIEW call Spencer (who wrote a full generation after de Tocqueville) "the second father of sociology" (1967:32) .

I would have said that the father of sociology was Max Weber, and the second father was Emile Durkheim, but I found this on the web.

Answer 3

That is a very open ended question, but some of my suggestions may be Emilie Durkheim or Max Weber.
