"The Blackwell Companion to Social Theory, "Second Edition, builds
on the success of the highly regarded first edition by adding four
completely new chapters on the foundations of social theory,
anthropology, phenomenology, and sociology of the body. Retained
material from the first edition has been revised, extended, and
updated, and coverage of feminism expanded into two chapters on
second-wave feminism and contemporary feminist theory.
The book guides the student and scholar through the vast array
of approaches and frameworks that shape contemporary analysis of
social reality. The principal focus is on post-classical modern
social theory, but while major post-classical thinkers such as
Habermas, Foucault and Derrida are examined, they appear within the
context of a classical tradition developed by figures such as
Parsons, Goffman and Elias. Organized by themes rather than
theorists, 18 essays by the world's leading social theorists
provide insights to the traditions of classical social thought as
well as the major debates and developments in contemporary social
theory. Extensive bibliographies, meanwhile, provide a guide to the
current literature.
