إشكالية علم الاجتماع في الوطن العربي بين واقعه التنظيري و ضروراته التطبيقية

Abstract EN

The rapid changes that have occurred in the countries of the Arab world is reflected on the concerns of the humanities in general and sociology in particular.

They have also changed the nature of the problems that social thought deals with.

It has become the interest of sociologists to study these societies starting from their own desire to understand the problems of these societies, their social structures, their problems, and their inner socio-political forces.

Sociologists agree that sociology leads to knowledge and a sound understanding of human behavior, but they disagree about whether this science is trying to uncover any social facts in order to deploy them in making better societies.

Some scientists believe that sociology is a theoretical science, but others see it as an applied science.

Other scientists, on the other hand, see sociology as both a theoretical and applied science, and even they do not see that there are boundaries between theoretical sociology and applied sociology.

The argument that sociology is both a theoretical and applied science cannot only enhance our interest and scientific knowledge about facts, but also contribute to the possibility of drawing a clear picture of the nature of the current and future social life.

At the same time, the theoretical importance that contributes to the enrichment of scientific knowledge can be deployed to study the reality of our societies under the current circumstances
