The development of sociology as an intellectual discipline proceeded according to the input of precursors & founders in the field. Its early history is depicted & the 4 "general intellectual prerequisites" common to development of all the social sciences, are identified: (1) desacralization of the social order, (2) naturalism, (3) faith in reason, & (4) lawfulness of social phenomena. Historical aspects which affected sociology are described: the French Enlightenment, attitudes toward religion, European intellectual input, & post-1776 American ideas. American sociology is scrutinized with respect to 4 areas: (A) received ideas, (B) social values & concerns, (C) structural opportunities & constraints, & (D) organizational & institutional factors. American sociological scholars' contributions to the discipline are explored. Explicated are the roles American sociology has taken in research toward the comprehension of American social constructs, & in affecting American life in general. In the latter area 11 possible "outcomes of sociological activities" are outlined. Sociology is predicted to maintain its tendency toward diversity due to varying interests in the field. Future research will be addressed to the 2 main issues of "the problem of externalities" & "the problem of collective action." The interrelationships between sociology & other disciplines are analyzed, & social science theory is expected to continue to grow as a "loosely-connected but increasingly coherent network." C. Grindle.
