Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to review a fundamental book for any sociology student. In “The paradigms of Society knowledge” social scientist Ion Ungureanu organizes in an original manner the “theoretic core of sociology”: sociology’s main paradigms. He argues that sociology is a multi-paradigmatic science: it does not have an universal paradigm, but several paradigms which are competing for hegemony. The Romanian sociologist establishes the main fields of sociological studies: the constitution, organization, change and evolution of society. Although synthetic, the book is a vast one, and the review will be limited to the presentation of the links between some of the paradigms. Each paradigm has scientific potential, and from this point of view, Ion Ungureanu's work can open entire fields of research in Romanian sociology and beyond.
