Your Definition
A sociological framework that applies historical materialism and dialectical logic to understand social structures, institutions, and change. It analyzes how contradictions within society (class conflict, urban/rural divides, gender oppression) drive historical development. It rejects both functionalism (society as a stable system) and ahistorical empiricism, insisting that social facts must be understood in their dynamic, contradictory totality. Key concepts include modes of production, class struggle, alienation, and the dialectic of base and superstructure. This approach is foundational to Marxist sociology and critical theory.
