Document Summary
Thesis: this essay will explain what idealist and materialist epistemologies are and argue that they matter for sociology because their relationship is the basis of sociology. Sociologists tend to look at the relationships of physical and mentally constructed ideas. Wollstonecraft education and women (p. 111) Female = physical education = not physical, it is an idea. Humans = physical troubles = idea issues = idea. Martineau looking to observe morals and manners" (pg 166) She observes these through humans which are physical. Government = physical(maybe) justice = not physical. Sociologists study physical objects in the world (money, humans, technology, garbage), but they also study non physical things (mind, justice, poverty, knowledge). How do physical objects relate non physical objects. How do non physical objects relate physical objects: develop an argument responding to this claim: the only reason to identify certain thinkers as.
