Journal of Classical Sociology (JCS)

The Journal of Classical Sociology is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal established in 2001 and published quarterly by SAGE Publications. It serves as a leading forum for research that engages deeply with the foundational thinkers and traditions of sociology, while also demonstrating the relevance of classical social theory for understanding contemporary social phenomena. The journal encourages contributions that revisit core ideas of early sociological theorists—such as Auguste Comte, Karl Marx, Émile Durkheim, Max Weber, Georg Simmel—and critically applies, interprets, or extends these frameworks to address modern social theory debates, global transformations, and interdisciplinary intersections. Articles span theoretical explorations, historical and conceptual analyses, and critical reviews, often highlighting how classical insights illuminate current issues in social structure, culture, power, and social change. While rooted in classical theory, the journal also welcomes innovative approaches that connect historical traditions with developments in political theory, anthropology, philosophy, and cultural studies, encouraging dialogue between past and present across social sciences. Its quarterly issues include original research, review essays, and special thematic collections that collectively advance scholarly understanding of sociology’s intellectual heritage and its continuing relevance. As a respected outlet in social thought, the journal bridges historical depth with vibrant contemporary analysis for sociologists, theorists, and interdisciplinary scholars.
