From denied society to denied sociology

Abstract

This article returns on several of the classic founders of the sociology to show how they thought about how to create a tradition that today finds itself denied. In the center of this tradition, with his debates, one finds regularly the possibility of thinking the society as a whole. Nevertheless, in the last decades and under the influence of disciplines strange to the sociological tradition, the credence that it is not possible to think the society as a whole -what it is like in structures and from the conceptual point of view- has been gaining a place.
