Critical And Effective Histories by Mitchell Dean

Critical And Effective Histories by Mitchell Dean

First Published in 2004. This work places Foucault's methodologies against social theory and philosophy in order to provide a guide to social sciences, particularly historical sociology. Written to clarify Foucault's contribution for professional and non-professional readers, the text demonstrates the originality and usefulness of Foucault's work and embodies a conviction that Foucault's approaches could transform sociology into an effective, multi-focused, relevant discipline. Finally, the book illustrates that his methods provide the necessary condition for any state-of-the-art social research today, addressing his methodological position and establishing its relationship to Nietzsche, Kant, Weber, Elias, Habermas, Giddens, and the Annales and Frankfurt Schools.

'.. a thoughtful critique of sociology, history and philosophy which thankfully avoids the more obvious and repetitive lines of Foucauldian commentary.' - Radical Philosophy
