This bibliographical reference work contains essays devoted to the leading theorists of world sociology. Each essay gives a brief scholarly biography of the scholar and a survey of their research interests, sets out their personal contribution to the development of sociological science, and assesses the significance of their work for contemporary Ukraine — in particular for the conceptualisation of the cultural, economic and political modernisation of Ukrainian society. The volume briefly summarises how the scholars of the Institute of Sociology of the NAS of Ukraine have interpreted the legacy of the classics of sociology and introduced their fruitful ideas into Ukrainian sociological discourse.
