Corresponding to "Sociological Theory in Modern Society," "Classical Sociological Theory" focuses solely on classical sociological theory.

Martineau, C. Gilman, J. Addams, A. Cooper, M. Weber, and B. Webb. Additionally, it covers the theories of non-classical sociologists such as Mead, Schutz, and Parsons, who are considered to have a deep connection with classical sociological theory.
