About the Book
New Rules of Sociological Method is a revised edition of Anthony Giddens' foundational work in social theory. This edition offers a critical examination of leading schools of thought in social philosophy, including phenomenology, ethnomethodology, and Wittgensteinian thought. Giddens focuses on how these perspectives shape the understanding of human action, emphasizing the intelligibility of social actions.
In this work, Giddens moves beyond an ‘action approach’ to explore the interconnectedness of action and structure in human social life. The book introduces key concepts that explain the production and reproduction of society, shedding light on the dynamics of social order and change. The second edition includes a new introduction where Giddens responds to criticisms of the original work and revisits topics previously covered in brief.
This book presents a comprehensive and accessible introduction to structuration theory, marking a significant contribution to sociological thought. It offers fresh perspectives on social structure and agency, ultimately proposing new rules of sociological method that continue to influence the field of sociology.
