Leroux, Robert.

Antoine-Augustin Cournot as a Sociologist[electronic resource] /by Robert Leroux. - 1st ed. 2019. - XVII, 166 p. 1 illus.online resource.

Introduction. - Chapter 1: Context and General Ideas of the Book -- Chapter 2: The Necessity of History -- Chapter 3: Epistemological Issues -- Chapter 4: Action, Rationalism, and Social Change -- Chapter 5: The Study of the Social Milieu -- Chapter 6: Cournot and the French Sociological Tradition. - Conclusion .

The thinking of Antoine-Augustin Cournot has inspired a growing literature in economy and epistemology, but as of yet, his sociological thought has not been explicitly discussed and contextualized within the discipline. From the 1850s to the end of the 1870s, Cournot contributed significantly to the history of French sociology, particularly in the development of one essential idea: that forms of knowledge are intimately linked to the progress of reason. Philosophy, therefore, becomes interested in the development of the sciences, evolving as they do from the process of rationalizing human societies. Cournot’s comparative-historical sociology, “rediscovered” especially by Gabriel Tarde in the 20th century, seeks to understand how a macro-sociological trend can depend on the aggregation of a host individual decisions and actions, or to discern a certain order out of apparent chaos.
