[WhatsUpUoH] Talk on 24.9.15 - Dept. of Sociology

UGC- Special Assistance Programme Department of Sociology School of Social Sciences University of Hyderabad   Invites you to a talk on    "Moral sociology: The alternative to value neutrality"   By   Prof.  Frederic Vandenberghe IESP/UERJ Department Rio de Janerio State University Brazil   On                                                           24th September, 2015 (Thursday) at 2:30  p.m.    Venue: New Seminar Hall, School of Social Sciences All are invited   Abstract:   An attempt will be made through this lecture to reconnect sociology to practical philosophy and practical philosophy to sociology. The thesis he wants to defend is that sociology continues by other means the venerable tradition of practical and moral philosophy. Like its forebears, it stands and falls with a defense of "practical wisdom" (Aristotle) and "practical reason" (Kant). The development of a moral sociology presupposes, however, that one recognizes and rejects Max Weber's theory of axiological neutrality as an extremist position. The time has come to review the dogma of value freedom and construct a new axiological front that unites hermeneuticians, phenomenologists, pragmatists, symbolic interactionists, cultural sociologists, poststructuralists, post-colonialists, critical realists, critical theorists and others around a common position.
