This ambitious two-volume handbook of social theory consists of
forty original contributions. The researchers take stock of the
state of social theory and its relationship to the canon, exploring
such topics as the nature, purpose, and meaning of social theory;
the significance of the classics; the impact of specific individual
and theory schools; and more. Both volumes reflect a mixture of
what intellectual historian Morton White distinguished as the
'annalist of ideas' and the 'analyst of ideas', locating
theoretical thought within the larger socio-historical context that
shaped it - within the terrain of the sociology of knowledge.
Exploring the contemporary relevance of theories in a manner that
is historically situated and sensitive, this impressive and
comprehensive set will likely stand the test of time.
