Social Theory Today by Anthony Giddens
Social theory has undergone dramatic changes over the years. This book provides a comprehensive survey of those changes, and a statement on trends of development in social thought. It includes discussions on: behaviourism; symbolic interactionism; Parsonian theory; analytical theory; structuralism and post-structuration theory; and, more.
'This is an excellent collection of essays which, now that it has been published in paperback, deserves to reach a wide audienceIt provides a comprehensive survey of current issues in social theory, although the collection is of interest as much for the authors it brings together as for the topics they cover.' Sociology
'Social Theory Todayis a highly useful and satisfying work ... In the first place Anthony Giddens and Jonathan Turner have comprehensively charted their own field ... In the second place, [they] have been largely successful in persuading their authors to observe a consistent format ... Finally, Giddens and Turner, thanks to their own personal standing as productive and original practitioners of sociological theory, have been able to enlist the collaboration of a number of highly distinguished authors.'
