Volume : III, Issue : IV, May - 2013 THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF SOCIOLOGY AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH LITERATURE: A COMPARISON ARUN MURLIDHAR JADHAV DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : Generally, the term 'sociology' is defined as the scientific study of society,
more specifically human society. As its major concern is society, it is popularly known
as the 'science of society'. Like all other social sciences, sociology tries to determine
the relationship between different elements of social life and discovers the
fundamental conditions of social stability and social change. It analyses the
influences of economic, political, cultural, artistic, aesthetic, geographical, scientific
and other forces and factors on man and his life and throws more light on the various
social problems like poverty, education, social class, religion, and others. Like
sociology, literature too is pre-eminently concerned with man's social world, his
adaptation to it and his desire to change it. In fact, man and his society is the material
out of which literature is constructed. So, literature is regarded as the expression or
representation of human life through the medium of social creation viz. language.
Although both sociology and literature are quite distinct areas of research, there is the
reciprocal relationship between them. Keywords : Article : Cite This Article : ARUN MURLIDHAR JADHAV, (2013). THE NATURE AND SCOPE OF SOCIOLOGY AND ITS RELATIONSHIP WITH LITERATURE: A COMPARISON.
