Pedagogy :
The focus of this paper is on the substantive, theoretical and methodological issues which shaped the thinking of pioneering and classical sociologists and which continue to concern the practitioners of sociology today.
Unless otherwise necessary to understand their contributions, the biographical details of the sociologists should be kept to the minimum.
Evaluation of the relevance and significance of the contributions of the pioneers and classical theorists should be briefed by the historical context of the discipline and its theorists.
