Abstract

The question of humanism and its relation to sociological imagination is as old as the discipline of sociology. However, the history of this relation seems to go back to Polish philosopher-turned-sociologist, Florian Znaniecki. It is a methodology which treats its objects of study and its students that are human, as composites of values and systems of values.
