Who are the sociologies that contibuted in the development of Sociology?

Question

Sociology

Answer 1

Some important early sociologists include Durkheim, Weber, Marx, Hobbes, and Veblen (the roll-call of dead white men). You can find some details about them at the links below.

Answer 2

A sociologist is essentially a social scientist.  He is committed to the society and the people.  A sociologist attends to the problems faced by a single individual as well as the society.  Behavioural problems, substance dependence, criminal attitudes, superstitions etc. are the concern of sociologists. Roussuau, Voltaire, Bertrand Russel, Alfred North Whitehead, Newton etc were great sociologists in that sense.  They interferred in the day-to-day functions of the society.  They made a mark as great sociologists and some of them as scientists also.        U.K.Atiyodi, Kandangali, Payyanur

Answer 3

Some early Sociologists that contributed to the field's development are:

Claude Henri de Saint-Simon - first sociologist

Auguste Comte - coined the term "Sociology"

Herbert Spencer - early British Sociologist, functionalist

Emile Durkheim - early French Sociologist

Karl Marx - early conflict theorist (although technically he was not a sociologist, he was a philosopher. But he did contribute very much to Sociology's development)

Max Weber - 19th century German theorist

William Graham Sumner - brought Sociology to the US

There are others, such as Thorstein Veblen, Georg Simmel, W.E.B. DuBois, Robert Park, Talcott Parsons, Pierre Bourdieu, etc. But they come a little later so I don't think that's what you're looking for.
