Which of the following factors did not contribute to the emergence of sociology during the 19th century?

Question

darwinism, the industrial revolution, colonialism or rationalism?

Answer 1

Rationalism.

Darwinism led to social darwinism, industrial revolution led to stratification of new groups in society, colonialism led to further group differentiation.
Sociology uses empiricist philosophical roots to measure their studies, which is counter to rationalism.

That's my take on it... But I am not a sociologist.

Answer 2

and colonialism took place in the 17th century... did you just graduate from college?
I am going to guess it was darwinism since that doesn't have anything to do with Soc. - really.

"Sociology as a scientific discipline emerged in the early 19th century as an academic response to the challenge of modernity: as the world is becoming smaller and more integrated, people's experience of the world is increasingly atomized and dispersed. Sociologists hoped not only to understand what held social groups together, but also to develop an "antidote" to social disintegration."

Answer 3

The Industrial Revolution took place in the 18th century.
