Abstract
This chapter provides an overview of the place of morality in the history of mainstream sociological theory. Morality was central to the inception of sociological thought, waned in importance for the latter half of the twentieth century, and is currently experiencing a bit of a revival. This chapter traces these ebbs and flows, arguing that the realm of the moral is, in fact, an important area of sociological inquiry.
