Sociology can be an inherently pessimistic discipline. After all, much still needs to be done for a fairer more equal society. Whilst she does not deny the distance we still have to go, Holmes argues for a more optimistic view of the social world, one which foregrounds how far we have come and imagines how things could be better. Questioning the overt focus on social problems opposed to social questions, she highlights how sociologists have pathologised social life and argues how we might see things differently. Taking a journey through a whole range of topics such as equality, relationships, freedom and even sociology, Holmes charts the history of core sociological ideas and begins to highlight the ways in which critical optimism can imagine new possibilities in the field. Arguing that pessimism limits the sociological imagination, Holmes provokes the reader to explore more optimistic ways forward through combining historical insight and provocation of new ways of thinking. This book would make a useful complement to any reading list to spark debates and research that explores the possibilities of a more optimistic future for sociology. -- Jon Rainford, Sociology can be an inherently pessimistic discipline.

Synopsis
Mary Holmes shows how an optimistic sociology can help us think about and understand social problems and positive social change. The perfect companion and/or antidote to studying sociology., This is the book that sociology has been waiting for. Essential reading for any student of sociology, Mary Holmes' book is written to highlights sociology as a discipline that can see how the world might be otherwise, including better. Breaking away from the ideology that sociology only elaborates on the negative, this book persuades readers that sociology can actually provide hope in dealing with the problems in the world via critical approaches that acknowledge the positive. Through examining a range of relevant issues, readers will be shown how sociology can also help us think about and understand human experiences, not just in terms of social problems but in terms of Human capacity to respond to those problems and to find ways of living which provide at least some satisfaction. Book jacket., Breaking away from the idea that sociology only ever elaborates the negative, Sociology for Optimists shows that sociology can provide hope in dealing with social issues through critical approaches that acknowledge the positive. From politics and inequality to nature and faith, Mary Holmes shows how a critical and optimistic sociology can help us think about and understand human experience not just in terms of social problems, but in terms of a human capacity to respond to those problems and strive for social change. With contemporary case studies throughout grounding the theory in the real world, this is the perfect companion/antidote to studying sociology.
