The problem of historical change has come to assume central
importance among English-speaking social scientists in the past ten
to fifteen years. Much attention has been focused on how we relate
institutions and institutional change to actions, and how we think
of history as the outcome of this process. This book looks at both
Marxist and non-Marxist positions in this debate, examining in
detail the work of Hobsbawm, Thompson, Cohen, Althusser, Giddens
and Habermas amongst others. Callinicos argues that both
functionalism and methodological individualism, and the various
attempts to reconcile these extremes, are untenable. Drawing on
classical Marxism, analytical philosophy and recent historical
work, Callinicos has produced a useful contribution to the debate,
developing an argument which should affect its terms in the future.
