How to define society

Why can not sociology define its own subject? Volker Schmidt tackles this blind spot in a sweeping 2,500-year genealogy. He reveals how the concept of society evolved from ancient Roman law to our modern obsession with nation-states. Challenging this parochial view, Schmidt argues the default model is broken. He proposes a radical shift toward global social science, reimagining society as a world entity. This is a necessary, enlightening journey through time for a universal perspective.
