WHAT IS SOCIOLOGY?
His natural habitat is all the human gathering places of the world, wherever men come
together. What interests us is the curiosity that grips any sociologist in front of a closed
door behind which there are human voices.
The categories he employs in his analyses are only refinements of the categories by
which other men live: power, class, status, race, family.
It can be said that the first wisdom of sociology is this: things are not what they seem.
Social reality turns out to have many layers of meaning.
