The Rules of Sociological Method (French: "Les Règles de la Méthode Sociologique" ) is a book by Émile Durkheim, first published in 1895.
 It is recognized as being the direct result of Durkheim's own project of establishing sociology as a positivist social science.
 Durkheim is seen as one of the fathers of sociology, and this work, his manifesto of sociology.
 Durkheim distinguishes sociology from other sciences and justifies his rationale.
 Sociology is the science of social facts.
 Durkheim suggests two central theses, without which sociology would not be a science:
Mathematical sociology is the area of sociology that uses mathematics to construct social theories.
 Mathematical sociology aims to take sociological theory, which is strong in intuitive content but weak from a formal point of view, and to express it in formal terms.
 The benefits of this approach include increased clarity and the ability to use mathematics to derive implications of a theory that cannot be arrived at intuitively.
 In mathematical sociology, the preferred style is encapsulated in the phrase "constructing a mathematical model."
 This means making specified assumptions about some social phenomenon, expressing them in formal mathematics, and providing an empirical interpretation for the ideas.
 It also means deducing properties of the model and comparing these with relevant empirical data.
 Social network analysis is the best-known contribution of this subfield to sociology as a whole and to the scientific community at large.
 The models typically used in mathematical sociology allow sociologists to understand how predictable local interactions are and they are often able to elicit global patterns of social structure.
The sociology of law (or legal sociology) is often described as a sub-discipline of sociology or an interdisciplinary approach within legal studies.
 Some see sociology of law as belonging "necessarily" to the field of sociology whilst others tend to consider it a field of research caught up between the disciplines of law and sociology.
 Still others regard it neither as a sub-discipline of sociology nor as a branch of legal studies but as a field of research on its own right within the broader social science tradition.
 Accordingly, it may be described without reference to mainstream sociology as "the systematic, theoretically grounded, empirical study of law as a set of social practices or as an aspect or field of social experience".
 It has been seen as treating law and justice as fundamental institutions of the basic structure of society mediating "between political and economic interests, between culture and the normative order of society, establishing and maintaining interdependence, and constituting themselves as sources of consensus, coercion and social control".

Alfred Owen Aldridge (December 16, 1915 – January 29, 2005) was a professor of French and comparative literature, founder-editor of the journal "Comparative Literature Studies", and author of books on a wide range of literature studies.
The sociology of literature is a subfield of the sociology of culture.
 It studies the social production of literature and its social implications.
 A notable example is Pierre Bourdieu's 1992 "Les Règles de L'Art: Genèse et Structure du Champ Littéraire", translated by Susan Emanuel as "Rules of Art: Genesis and Structure of the Literary Field" (1996).
