This book provides an introduction to classical social theory
through discussion, application, and synthesis of the work of Karl
Marx, Emile Durkheim, and George Herbert Mead. Rather than merely
summarizing and evaluating their continuing influence, their ideas
and ways of reasoning are applied in thoroughly developed fashion
to contemporary issues and historical events of enduring
importance. In the process, contributions of these three very
different authors are used to complement each other and are
eventually synthesized, making clear that they can be melded into
one multilevel, even if tentative and rudimentary, theoretical
perspective. The book is intended to systematically and compactly
introduce the most useful concepts of the three classical
theorists. However, new concepts are typically introduced as part
of the narrative, rather than in box-text definitional fashion.
This is consistent with the books primary purpose: to enable the
reader to begin to think like Marx, Durkheim, and Mead, especially
insofar as their work can be synthesized into one point of view,
dealing with inter-related macro-level, middle range, and
micro-level social phenomena. The section on Marx will be longer
than the sections on Durkheim and Mead. In part, the length of the
discussion of Marx's work is due to use of this section to begin
introducing pertinent ideas of Durkheim and Mead.
