Like every other scientific endeavour, thought and academic discipline (even the most abstract ones), sociology was developed at a particular point in history through carefully thought out intellectual reflections and an expression of current situations and predicaments in society at that time. And even though the discipline was coined in 1838 by Auguste Comte, sociological writings have a long background in history and are rooted in the works of philosophers.
