The Revue Française de Sociologie, a quarterly review founded in 1960 by Jean Stoetzel, publishes work that furthers knowledge of the social world and the development of conceptual and technical instruments in the service of that knowledge.

With its readership of professional scientists, the Revue Française de Sociologie provides an open forum for sociological thought and plays an important role in promoting French and French-language sociological research. We have further developed this role recently by inaugurating an annual selection of Revue articles in English translation.
