Environmental Sociology is an emerging field to deal with the environmental issues and the relation between environment and society in general. But essentially society exists in the midst of environment, and human beings live in the midst of environment. This fact is clearly formulated as B=f (E·P).
Modern sociology, especially its voluntaristic version, neglects the importance of environmental aspects of the social and behavioral world, subjected to the human exemptionalism and the innocent belief in the limitless growth. I think environmental sociology is in essence a normalization movement against the evolutionistic convergence modernism in 20 century sociology. Environmental sociology brings forward a new and old normal approach to the sociological analysis in general. Every special field of sociology should adopt the environ-mental sociology as a normal method to activate research. In this sense, environmental sociology is indeed the sociology itself in the long run.
