Sociology as Analysis of the Unintended

Sociology as Analysis of the Unintended: From the Problem of Ignorance to the Discovery of the Possible, 1st Edition, examines how sociology investigates unintended consequences. The text explores how social outcomes diverge from the original intentions of actors.

The volume discusses traditional frameworks that attribute unintended results to ignorance, error, and complexity. It also considers how these established sociological models are shifting in response to wider perspectives across the social sciences.

Part of the Routledge Research in Ignorance Studies series, the work connects sociological analysis to broader inquiries across related disciplines.
