In his newest book prominent sociologist Charles Lemert takes on
one of social science 's most mysterious problems. How is it
possible to derive general statements about the largely invisible
and overwhelming grand structures of social life that we can never
see clearly beyond their effects in the small movements of
individual lives? Marx and Freud were the modern inventors of a
solution that is given too little attention: Where Marx derived
from the tiniest commodity, his large picture of the whole of the
evils of the capitalist system, so too Freud diagnosed the
character of psyches and cultures from the slight inferences of
details of dreams, slips, and even jokes. Charles Lemert offers in
this wonderfully readable and limitlessly challenging book
approaches for a new social science required for global realities
in which a Bluetooth can convey a world of information.
