About the Book:
In Social Theory and Modern Sociology, Anthony Giddens explores a range of issues related to the current developments in social theory and the future of sociology as the twentieth century draws to a close. The book is a collection of closely integrated essays, including seven that have not been published before, as well as two that are appearing in English for the first time.
The work critically examines competing traditions of thought, drawing on Giddens' established theoretical writings while offering fresh insights into his own distinct perspectives. In addition to exploring the development of social theory, this book serves as a comprehensive guide to Giddens’ ideas, providing clarity for students and professionals alike. It discusses the future of sociology and social sciences and offers critical assessments of important sociological concepts.
This collection will be essential reading for anyone interested in the development of social theory and its relationship to the broader fields of sociology, anthropology, political science, and philosophy.
