Type: article
Abstract: This article, authored by Ganesh Shrirang Satarkar, M.A. Sociology, Department of Sociology, Central University of Haryana, India, offers a comprehensive examination of the foundational traditions of sociology and anthropology. Drawing from the Classical Sociological Tradition, the paper discusses key contributions from Auguste Comte, Karl Marx, Émile Durkheim, Max Weber, and Georg Simmel. It further integrates major Sociological Theories such as positivism, conflict theory, interactionism, and structural-functionalism, along with Anthropological Perspectives including evolutionism, functionalism, structuralism, cultural materialism, and symbolic anthropology. By bridging these interdisciplinary frameworks, the article highlights how classical and modern theoretical approaches contribute to understanding human societies, cultural systems, identity, inequality, and social change.
