Is There Any Point In Continuing To Study The Classical Theorists In Order To Understand Modern Society?

Abstract: 5 pages in length. The perspectives of classical theorists are just as pertinent today as they have been throughout the centuries; to eschew the lessons provided by these philosophers is to ignore the fundamental basis of human nature. That contemporary society has changed significantly since the time of classical theorists cannot be argued, however, the very foundation of man's behavior is still found within the teachings of such ideologists as Durkheim, Sartre and Marx. The student may choose to focus upon the notion of individualism as a means by which to illustrate just how well past theories apply to understanding modern society. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
