Abstract

To be remembered by history as a "thinker," one must think some fairly formidable thoughts. Marx, Weber, Durkheim, and Foucault, some of sociology's most seminal thinkers, tackled one of the most complicated human problems: what is modern society, and what makes it tick?

In Manifesto of the Communist Party, Marx famously said that "the history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles [Marx, Manifesto, 1]." To him, "modern" society was the one that had sprouted from the ruins of feudalism, the "epoch of the bourgeoisie [Marx 1848]." The rise of capitalism after feudalism did nothing to settle class struggle: it merely simplified it into two directly opposing classes, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat.
