What are the factors responsible for the growth and development of sociology in Europe?
The rise of sociology in Europe wasn't a single event -- it is and was bound up in its respective countries academic and social structures, whcih have left a lasting impression on the structures of the discipline in these respective countries. English Sociology, for example, grew out of an effort to scientifically help the poor. It is at least historically neutral about activism. German Sociology after Weber is far more leery of reformatory involvement and focuses on "heavy" subjects such as epistemology -- which Americans gleefully ignore left an right. This makes for interesting comparative reading. American sociological texts tend to be "fluffy" and underspecified, German texts... well they're kinda oomphy in the have-a-sentence-on-two-pages department.
The one common factors in all countries that led to the rise of sociology, or at least heavily contributed, is Industrialization and its attendant social changes of urbanization, mechanization and specialization.
Foundational tensions in Sociology are about men relates to fellow man, to the product of his work (machines) and about modern societies differ from more traditional ones (specialization).
