About the Book:

In Adhunik Samajshastriya Vicharak (Modern Sociological Thinkers), S.L. Doshi critically examines the theories of contemporary sociological thinkers, focusing on the tension between modern and postmodern perspectives in social theory. This book offers an insightful exploration of how thinkers like Durkheim, Weber, and Marx have shaped sociological discourse, and how postmodern theorists are challenging and, in some cases, rejecting their foundational ideas.

The author discusses the relevance of these thinkers to contemporary issues, with a focus on modernity, postmodernity, and the evolving landscape of sociological thought. Topics such as the transition from industry to post-industry, the critique of classical sociology, and the rise of new theoretical paradigms like structuralism and post-structuralism are examined in-depth.

The book is structured to help readers understand the critical shift in social theory and its implications for modern society. It highlights thinkers such as Anthony Giddens, Jürgen Habermas, and Michel Foucault, as well as the major debates surrounding modernity and postmodernity.

With its thorough analysis, this book provides valuable insights into the philosophical underpinnings of modern sociological theory and serves as an essential resource for students and scholars of sociology.
