Abstrakt: |
The historical development of Ethiopian sociology was traced from 1951 with the influence of western sociologists. It does not mean that no native sociologists could create a new Ethiopian sociological thinking; however, these perspectives could not rampant worldly due to cultural, economic, social, political, and environmental encumbrances. Due to such factors, Western sociologists have been not only influenced to create sociological researches and development but also create a new country's national identity so far in Ethiopia, especially for Karl Marx, Max Weber, and Emile Durkheim's philosophical beliefs. In sum, there is no clear-cut school of sociology in Ethiopia. Some scholars have followed up France School of Sociology and the other one frequently performed the premises of the German School of Sociology. In my observation, the Ethiopian sociologists have rigorously executed both schools of Sociologies after the colonialism period. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
