Theoretical Sociology

Theoretical sociology is the branch of sociology that focuses on developing concepts, theories, and models to explain social behavior and societal structures. It seeks to understand the underlying principles that shape social interactions, institutions, and cultural norms. By analyzing patterns and relationships within society, theoretical sociologists aim to offer insights into complex social phenomena, allowing for a deeper comprehension of issues like inequality, social change, and collective behavior. This theoretical framework helps guide empirical research and informs policies to address social challenges.
