The Place of Lester Ward among the Sociological Classics

James J. Chriss

Cleveland State University, USA

Although there is a thriving industry of classical sociology within the discipline of sociology, not much attention has been focused on the early American sociologists. This paper offers a six-fold typology of the uses of the classics within sociology, and argues that the neglect of early American sociology among contemporary sociologists requires correction. For reasons delineated, Lester F. Ward is the overlooked early American sociologist most deserving of renewed attention and study.

Key Words: classical sociology • early American sociology • Ward
