All Social Theorists

The founding and major figures of sociology and anthropology, carried here as two standalone social sciences through this category's own theorist SubLabel grouping (Sociology, Anthropology) rather than as separate discipline entities, from Auguste Comte and Franz Boas through contemporary theorists working in every major tradition this atlas's own Social Theory and Concepts category documents. Belongs here: a person whose primary scholarly identity is sociology or anthropology. Does not belong here: a philosopher of social science writing about method rather than practicing it, whom Philosophy atlas carries per this atlas's own scope charter seam.
