Abstract
SOCIOLOGY is achieving maturity as a discipline. Its increased recognition in American as distinct from most British universities is indicated by the appearance of university text-books. Whether as a subject it is in any way distinguishable from political science is a reasonable matter of doubt, depending upon whether we understand politics as Aristotle did or as something to do with politicians.
