Drawing on the work of Gadamer, the book demonstrates that a
sociology which focuses on social relations does not imply a return
to idealism, nor a retreat into individualism, nor a rejection of
critique. Rather, a hermeneutic sociology which prioritises human
social relations is the only coherent paradigm which is available
today. The author argues that sociologists studying the dramatic
social transformations which are currently occuring should focus on
social relations between humans; they should not attempt to
understand contemporary changes in terms of structure and agency.
