Rene John Lock David
Descartes Hume Conservatism as a Reaction to the Enlightenment
Not everyone was delighted with the seeming glory of
the enlightenment project. Some view that the enlightenment movement brought too much radicalism that overshadowed the need for moral principles guided by religious traditions. It brought many ideal changes in the life of mankind but many conservatives still think that the rationalism through the enlightenment is a kind of a double-edged sword. It can solidify our human rationalism but it can also undermine another side of humanity which is the adherence to moral and religious values. Development of French Sociology
The manner by which society has been
studied was brought by the French philosophers into a different level. We can see in their socio-political theories the influence of both enlightenment ideas and anti-enlightenment sentiments. Claude Henri Saint-Simon (1760-1825)
•He was influential to both
enlightenment and conservative movement. •He wanted to change the radical society brought about by the enlightenment. •He was considered by Durkheim as a son of the positivist movement influenced by enlightenment. •He influenced Karl Marx. Auguste Comte (1798-1857)
Comte was often times quoted
as the father of sociology since he was the first one to use the term sociology to refer to the scientific study of sociology. He and Saint-Simon developed a close relationship before things began to taste bitter between them. He was greatly influenced by the many ideas of Saint-Simon. He was also againts the radical provisions of the enlightenment project. Émile Durkheim (15 April 1858 – 15 November 1917)

philosophy

philosophy which was againts the idealism of Hegel.

the center of sociological inquiry and not God because people are considered to be more real compared to just mere ideas.
He served as the bridge between Hegelian
idealistic philosophy and Marxian material Philosophy. Karl Marx

capitalism to the industrialized world.

natural talent to creatively for himself.

form of socio-economic and socio-political structuring of the society. He had great contributions to the development of sociological theory. He is focused on the idea of rationalization. He was so curious to know why rationalization was so rampant in the western world but not so in the other regions of the world. One of the main reason why rationalization worked for the west is its religion. British Sociology
