This book examines the future of the social sciences and the
reconstruction of society in contemporary times. Drawing on the
lead piece For a New Classic Sociology, it calls for a new
theoretical synthesis that overcomes the fragmentation,
specialization and professionalization within the social sciences.
The position paper and the responses by a team of world-class
social theorists provide an alternative to utilitarianism and the
colonization of the social sciences by rational choice models,
propose a new articulation of social theory, and moral, social and
political philosophy. It recommends a return to classical social
theory and explores articulations between theories of reciprocity,
care and recognition. A radical intervention in the study of the
social sciences, the volume will be indispensable to scholars and
researchers across the social sciences, especially social theory
and sociology and social anthropology. Contributions by Frank
Adloff, Jeffrey C. Alexander, Francis Chateauraynaud, Raewyn
Connell, Francois Dubet, Philip Gorski, Nathalie Heinich, Qu
Jingdong, Mike Savage, Michael Singleton and Philippe Steiner.
