| Summary: | Sociology has not appeared as one of the core environmental sciences
like geography, even though it is one of the social and human sciences.
It makes important contribution considering the interest shown by the
founders like Durkheim, Weber and Marx in the relationship between
human societies and their environment. The direct effect of human
activity on the natural world which influences the social realm raised
concerns at practical and theoretical levels with issues of hazard, risk
and the environment. This desk top case study therefore reviewed
literature on the concept and principles and the ways in which
environmental matters are discussed within everyday life and
sociology. This paper deals with themes of environmental sociology‟s
key concepts and debate on the role of classical theorists in the
discipline. It specifically focused on the larger theoretical and
conceptual challenge on how the discipline of sociology can usefully
address questions of nature and the physical environment and what
would this in turn mean for sociology. |
