A Social Theory by Alex Callinicos
Providing a historical introduction to social theory, this work traces its connections with central themes in modern philosophy, with the development of political economy and with the impact of evolutionary biology on social thought.
'Presenting an overview of social theory is a daunting taskOne can end up with brief accounts of a host of social theorists, a mile wide and an inch deep, or alternatively, one can exclude important strands in social theory by focusing on the typical academic pantheon ... [Callinicos] has finessed all of the above difficulties and produced a theoretically rich, historically grounded account of the emergence and development of modern social theory ... The range of Callinicos's discussion is staggering ... It is a superb and welcome accomplishment.' New Political Science
