SIEYES in his unpublished manuscript. Then sociology was later defined
by AUGUSTE COMTE, as “systematic study of society”.

According to EMILE DURKHEIM sociology is the “study of social
institutions”.
Depending upon the thinking perspectives there could be many
definations of sociology but generally it could be defined as “ A social

1. The processes and patterns of human individual and group
interactions.

among them.
