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.Historical sociologySociologyPolitical sociologyHistorical Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22130Sociological Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22060Political Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22170Knowledge - Discoursehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22120Historical sociology.Sociology.Political sociology.Historical Sociology.Sociological Theory.Political Sociology.Knowledge - Discourse.301301.01Leroux Robert1964-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut33940BOOK9910337695503321Antoine-Augustin Cournot as a Sociologist2519342UNINA
