“To inspire social scientists with the depth that sociological classics provide and to enrich current work with their ideas and facts, forgotten or never appropriated, it is essential to maintain access to those texts. The steady supply of articles on classic authors and their themes that the Journal of Classical Sociology provides offers a unique resource for renewing our engagement with those treasures. I learn something of value from every issue.” Donald N. Levine, University of Chicago "Through a judicious use of individual essays, special issues, and wide-ranging reviews of works published at home and abroad, the Journal of Classical Sociology has established itself as a premier journal of social thought. It offers fresh readings and interpretations of classical sociologists as well as of their actuality to grasp contemporary intellectual debates and currents. In an age of globalization, JCS provides indispensable materials for relating the past to the present." Edward A. Tiryakian, Duke University "The Journal of Classical Sociology has established itself as an essential resource for sociologists committed to building on the achievements of their predecessors... a must for all serious sociologists." The Times Higher Education Supplement Journal of Classical Sociology is an essential resource that focuses on international contributions to the classical tradition. The journal elucidates the origins of sociology and also demonstrates how the classical tradition renews the sociological imagination in the present day. The journal is a critical but constructive reflection on the roots and formation of sociology from the Enlightenment to the 21st century. Journal of Classical Sociology promotes discussions of early social theory, such as Hobbesian contract theory, through the 19th- and early 20th- century classics associated with the thought of Comte, Marx, Durkheim, Weber, Simmel, Veblen. Pareto and Mosca, through to contemporary work, such as network theory and transformations in social systems theory. This journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) .
