I would go back to Comte and his teacher Sainte Simon. They lived through the French Revolution, and sought to understand the elements necessary to form a real, working society. They were particularly aware of the radical social reform ideas constructed by Robespierre, and the French people's reactions to those reforms (they guillotined Robespierre!); so, Comte's is a much more conservative and scientific perspective. Following this, the work of Durkheim and Weber were also foundational to the development of social theory in the West.
Greetings Lilian. I have two articles on researchgate that you might find useful. One on Le Play and another Gary Wickham and I wrote on conditions for the emergence of sociology. There were many forebears including Ibn al Haithan, an Arab scholar. Hard to not include those many Enlightenment scholars in Scotland, England, Germany and France too...Happy researching!

Yes, there are basically many more reasons to contribute French Revolution, and it was the factor behind the emergence of sociology was the feudalistic state.
