Praise for the first edition: Calhoun and his collaborators have produced the best theory reader there isPhilip Gorski, University of Wisconsin-Madison Praise for this edition: Comprehensive but judicious, the editors have established the definitive canon of what is important in classical sociology. An invaluable contribution to teaching and to the appreciation of the classical tradition, the second edition is essential reading. Through its inclusive understanding of the history of social thought, it demonstrates forcefully why we should continue reading the classical texts. Bryan S. Turner , editor of The Cambridge Dictionary of Sociology
