Society: Concept and Reality

Is the subject of sociology "society"? Isn't it restrictive and misleading to think of every association of people, every state of social life, every human relationship under this wholesale, unifying, eternal society concept? The subject of sociology is not a past or present or a 'given' society, but the social, with its many biases, ambiguities, historical variability, options and potentials that do not fit under that umbrella. As a person of the modern age, by looking at the reality of society with such a concept of the social, you can also revive the ancient question of "practical philosophy": "How can a good and just life be?" If you want, "What would society be like?" You can also call it that!
Ahmet Çigdem follows this question in the book in your hand; "He thinks about society with practical philosophy". It is a move in an effort to bring philosophy back to sociology, which was founded by trying to purify itself from it and thus narrowed down to a "knowledge production" that moves away from "reality" and "life". By 'remembering' the fundamental concerns of philosophy, the founding moments of thinking on society, the social and historicity, from this perspective.
