Current research on social capital tends to focus on an economic
reading of social relations. Whereas economists pride themselves on
reaching out to social theory at-large, sociologists criticize the
economization of the social fabric. The concept of social capital
serves as a touchstone for the study of the role of the economy in
modern societies. It serves as a breach for expanding the reach of
economic categories, yet it also yields the opportunity for
questioning and transforming economic premises in the light of
social theory and philosophy. Exploring the concept of social
capital in the context of related terms like embeddedness, trust,
sociability, and cooperation is particularly instructive. This
collection of papers from various disciplines (philosophy,
sociology, economics, religious studies) combines conceptual
studies and empirical findings. It is a plea for re-embedding
economic thought in a broader theoretical framework. By exploring
the varieties of social identities implied in the theories of
social capital, the authors argue for a social (or more sociable)
conception of man.
