A New Approach to Sociology

Abstract

The text will focus on a new approach to sociology. It will try to scrutinize this approach through the analysis of Gabriel Tarde's views which were developed at the end of 19th century (d.1903) and Gilbert Simondon's philosophy in the mid-20th century. It emphasizes approaches of individuation and transduction. The text makes sense if we consider the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze. What we are going to say in the beginning of the 21st century is contrary to Durkheim's views by turning to Tarde's approach. One speaks not about society in which individual lives but to problematize the individual in which the society exists. What we call this is a new approach to sociology.
