Features: K?ji Aoi is a prominent contemporary sociologist in Japan. His work "Principles of Sociology" is a significant theoretical work in sociology originating from his personal scholarship in post-war Japan. This book not only possesses the comprehensiveness and systematicity typical of general sociology theory textbooks but also offers a unique perspective and theoretical innovation characteristic of a monograph, providing readers with fresh insights and profound inspiration. The book dares to reflect on the monistic, linear thinking model present in Western science and philosophy, thereby proposing a pluralistic, circular thinking model, presenting a highly illuminating and novel approach. "Principles of Sociology" is not only a comprehensive and systematic classic textbook of sociological theory but also an innovative monograph. Reading the entire book allows one not only to understand the Japanese sociologists' dedicated study and application of Western sociological theories but also to appreciate their relentless pursuit of surpassing the giants of world sociology.
