The Social Thought of Talcott Parsons offers an insightful new
reading of the work of Talcott Parsons, keeping in view at once the
important influences of Max Weber on his sociology and the central
place occupied by methodology - which enables us to better
understand the relationship between American and European social
theory. Revealing American democracy and its nemesis, National
Socialism in Germany as the basis of his theory of society, this
book explores the debates in which Parsons was engaged throughout
his life, with the Frankfurt School, C. Wright Mills and the young
radicals among the "disobedient" student generation, as well as
economism and utilitarianism in social theory; the opponents that
Parsons confronted in the interests of humanism. In addition to
revisiting Parsons' extensive oeuvre, Uta Gerhardt takes up themes
in current research and theory - including social inequality, civic
culture, and globalization - offering a fascinating demonstration
of what the conceptual approaches of Parsons can accomplish today.
Revealing methodology and the American ethos to be the cornerstones
of Parsons' social thought, this book will appeal not only to those
with interests in classical sociology - and who wish to fully
understand what this 'classic' has to offer - but also to those who
wish to make sociology answer to the problems of the society of the
present.
