Sociology is the science of social action in specific consideration of institutional conditionalities and effects. It is in equal parts a theory-driven as well as an empirical discipline. Since its inception in the early 20th century, sociology has become a highly differentiated knowledge area with competing theoretical and methodological approaches. The subject is currently characterised by an increasing focus on theoretical paradigms, specific areas of application, questions and methods. The Max Weber Institute for Sociology has a long tradition of sociological thought, research and teaching. The department is home to sociologists who are dedicated to the discipline’s theoretical, empirical and methodological developments. In teaching and research, it focusses on the main areas of general sociology as well as on the intellectual wealth of the special areas of sociology and sets trends for the development of the subject. The main focus in teaching is on sociological theories, research methods as well as main areas of empirical social research.
