Humanistic Sociology

Humanistic sociology is a perspective that emphasizes understanding people's subjective experiences, meanings, and intentions behind their actions. It focuses on how individuals interpret their social world and make sense of their lives, rather than just analyzing social structures or behaviors objectively. This approach values personal agency, emotions, and the importance of human consciousness in shaping society. It encourages empathic understanding and considers people's stories and perspectives vital to understanding social phenomena, highlighting the human aspect within social interactions and organizations.
