Karl Marx: The Most Influential Sociologists In The 19th Century
Karl Marx, Max Weber and Emile Durkheim were three of the most influential sociologists in the 19th century. Each of them came up with their own viewpoints and explanations regarding the social change taking place in society at that time. They witnessed Europe’s transition into industrial capitalism and each of them attempted to understand and explain it on a sociological level. Their views differed greatly from eachother but there were a few similarities.
Marx’s beliefs surrounded the idea of communism. His main ideas included class struggle, alienation, and communism. The realization of class struggle came to Marx’s attention when he noticed that there was unequal access to resources, ownership of property and wealth for the working class.
