Fin de Siecle Social Theory by Jeffrey C Alexander
Criticizes the alarming growth of relativism in recent social theory, reveals the limits of institutional reductionism, asserts the enduring values of the classical tradition, and lays out a "neo-modernist" position which defends reason from an anti-reductionist, culturally-centred perspective.
Gregory Elliott is Professor of Sociology at the University of California - Los Angeles. His previous books include Structure and Meaning: Relinking Classical Sociology and Neofunctionalism and Beyond.
