The sociology of emotion applies sociological theorems and techniques to the study of human emotions. As sociology emerged primarily as a reaction to the negative affects of modernity, many normative theories deal in some sense with 'emotion' without forming a part of any specific subdiscipline: Marx described capitalism as detrimental to personal 'species-being', Simmel wrote of the deindividualizing tendencies of 'the metropolis', and Weber's work dealt with the rationalizing effect of modernity in general.
