Franco Ferrarotti is widely regarded as the founder of postwar
Italian sociology. Along with such figures as Leo Strauss, Edward
Shils, David Riesman, Robert Merton, and Ralf Dahrendorf, he
established the terms and texts of contemporary sociology after the
Second World War.Social Theory for Old and New Modernities is a
collection of Ferrarotti's essays that brings his work back into
the forefront of sociology. His writings, on theory and
ethnographic research, on immigration and multiculturalism, on
religion and secularization, speak directly to today's social and
political dilemmas and crises and offer sociologists a critical and
enlivened vision of their discipline. Maria Macioti's Introduction
locates Franco Ferrarotti's work within his remarkable life, that
of a politician, intellectual, and social scientist living amidst
the social and political changes of the last half of the twentieth
century, anticipating the changes and challenges of the
twenty-first. E. Doyle McCarthy is the editor of this collection.
