Content
The main aim is to familiarize students with the logic of sociological reasoning and give them keys to understanding their society. More specifically, it aims to :
- enable them to acquire a general sociological culture and the basics of disciplinary language;
- introduce them to authors, theories and concepts that will awaken their curiosity about today's social world and enable them to adopt a critical and sociological perspective on it;
- introduce them to the main principles of sociological analysis;
- enable them to understand the specificity of sociology among the disciplines of the human sciences, particularly philosophy.
Teaching methods
