Social theory is the theoretical core of the social sciences,
clearly distinguishable from political theory and cultural
analysis. This book offers a unique overview of the development of
social theory from the end of the Second World War in 1945 to the
present day. Spanning the literature in English, French and German,
it provides an excellent background to the most important social
theorists and theories in contemporary sociological thought, with
crisp summaries of the main books, arguments and controversies. It
also deals with newly emerging schools from rational choice to
symbolic interactionism, with new ambitious approaches (Habermas,
Luhmann, Giddens, Bourdieu), structuralism and antistructuralism,
critical revisions of modernization theory, feminism and
neopragmatism. Written by two of the world's leading sociologists
and based on their extensive academic teaching, this unrivalled
work is ideal both for students in the social sciences and
humanities and for anyone interested in contemporary theoretical
debates.
