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. 606 $aSociology 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aKnowledge, Sociology of 606 $aSociological Theory 606 $aPolitical Sociology 606 $aSociology of Knowledge and Discourse 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 0$aKnowledge, Sociology of. 615 14$aSociological Theory. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 615 24$aSociology of Knowledge and Discourse. 676 $a301 676 $a301.01 700 $aLeroux$b Robert$f1964-$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$033940 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910337695503321 996 $aAntoine-Augustin Cournot as a Sociologist$92519342 997 $aUNINA
