Sociology of Revolution is a 1925 book by Russian American sociologist Pitirim Sorokin. Sociology of revolution as a branch of sociology was developed by Thomas Hobbes in Leviathan^[1] to a certain extent earlier than Sorokin. Hobbes lived and created in the period of the English Revolution. In the opinion by Hobbes, "the war of all against all" (Bellum omnium contra omnes) begins in the period of revolution and of Civil War, when all men threaten by each man, when each man has the right to all things by right of strong man, when "Man Is Wolf to Man" (Homo homini lupus). Sorokin generalized the data about the new revolutions, which were unknown to Hobbes – for example the French Revolution, Russian Revolution (1917).
