'In this remarkable collection of essays, Holton and Turner
demonstrate that Parsonian sociology addresses the most central
problems of our time - issues of sickness and health, power and
inequality, the nature of capitalism and its possible alternatives.
They develop a mature and original perspective on Parsons as the
only classical theorist who avoided crippling nostalgia. Holton and
Turner not only talk about Parsonian sociology in a profound and
insightful way, they do it, and do it well. As sociology moves away
from the rigid dichotomies of earlier debate, this book will help
point the way.' - Jeffrey Alexander, Professor and Director of
Graduate Studies in Sociology, UCLA
