INTRODUCTION
Now it is hardly necessary to provide extensive evidence to justify the fact that sociology is not an empirical applied discipline or, moreover, a set of empirical methods for studying social phenomena, as was officially considered relatively recently, but that it is primarily a theoretical science. Its meaning and main significance is to give a theoretical explanation of the essence, structure, interdependence, etc. of social phenomena - from the simplest type of episodic social contacts to the most large-scale and complex, up to the structure and patterns of functioning and development of society as a whole.
True, this raises a question that, although it has been touched upon many times in the scientific literature, still does not yet have a convincing explanation to the end: how does sociology, which claims to consider, from its own point of view, the widest range of social phenomena related to the most different areas community life, with sciences specially designed for the study of phenomena that are different in nature, according to "belonging" to one or another of these spheres of phenomena - economic, political, etc. In other words, what is the role of sociology in the theoretical understanding of these phenomena, which are specially studied by economic science, political science, etc., which is the specific point of view in the approach to them, which is inherent in sociology. Without aiming to give an exhaustive interpretation of this rather complicated and debatable issue, which is not within the scope of the present study and requires independent and very thorough consideration, we will state only some of the initial provisions on which the approach of this study is based on the range of problems selected as his subject.
The first thing we will proceed from is a widespread in domestic social science, although not universally recognized, and therefore a debatable idea that in public life it is possible to single out four main social ones, using a concept that is little used in our country, but common in world sociology. , - spheres: economic, social, political and spiritual life. Consequently, social phenomena, relations, etc. are not simply an expression of some special "aspects", characteristics of economic, political, spiritual phenomena, as some scientists believe, but form in their systemic unity a special sphere of social life - a social, located "in the same row" with the other three social spheres named. To this, however, one should add a provision, unfortunately not taken into account by the authors, even proceeding from the indicated and fully shared by us idea, that the named societal spheres should not be confused with the system of also various areas of human activity: production, consumer, household, leisure, etc. In some cases, the same concept, in particular the term "political", designates both a certain area of the life of society and one of the social spheres. But even here one can reveal the discrepancy between the areas of reality designated by this one word.

FOREWORD
There are few academic disciplines that concern us as intimately as sociology. As a science that studies social organizations and interactions, sociology helps to understand the events taking place around us and the social forces that affect us, focusing on those aspects of our social environment that we often ignore, lose sight of or take for granted. Sociology equips us with a special form of awareness of reality.
The proposed textbook consistently sets out the principles, laws and patterns of the emergence and functioning of human societies, organized into a system of science, which its founder O. Comte called sociology.
The sociology curriculum aims to provide students with a fairly complete compendium of knowledge about the specifics of sociology and its laws, isolating it from the vast mass of information provided by scientific and educational literature.
The layout of the material and the data of sociological research, examples from various areas of social life will allow the reader who does not have special training to get acquainted with a wide range of sociological problems with the least expenditure of time.
This textbook focuses on principles rather than details, the main points rather than current issues, and the description of specially selected examples, not just a listing of facts.
The structure of the textbook preserves the integrity of the curriculum of sociology, which, according to the authors' intention, makes it possible to use it optimally, in particular, when preparing for an exam - to systematize and quickly assimilate the material.
Many key topics - the theory and practice of sociological research, culture, socialization, groups and organizations, deviation and social control, social stratification, race, gender, family, religion, society and social change are dealt with more fully here than in most textbooks on sociology.
At the end of the textbook is a list of key terms and definitions. The most important sociological terms are highlighted in type, their definitions are given in the textbook as these terms appear in the text.
Sociological culture is becoming an integral element of Russian reality. In its formation and development, Russian sociology, relying, of course, on its own traditions and achievements, uses the experience of Western sociology. This book is based on the materials of the best foreign and domestic sociology textbooks - E. Asp, E. Giddens, A. Johnson, J. W. Vander Zanden, R. Lamm and R. Schaefer, A. Mendra, N. Smelser, J. Ritzer , J. M. Hinslin, as well as many scientific articles.
Interest in sociology is natural for people in general, since man, being a social being, is himself the object of its study. We believe that every educated person should have an understanding of sociology, which is why we wrote this book.
