Ralf Dahrendorf (1929 to 2009) has worked in sociology, political
practice and political philosophy, and is associated with
significant impulses in role theory and conflict theory. This book
presents the first synthesis of his extensive oeuvre in English.
Dahrendorf's political commitment was driven largely by his desire
to maximize life chances, thus contributing to the further
development of liberalism. In the tradition of Karl Popper, his
work in all areas was aimed at defending the open society, and he
saw conflicts, if they were settled, as being suitable in principle
for contributing to social progress. This book provides insights
into the various methodological and theoretical aspects and
critiques of Ralf Dahrendorf's work, as well as his reflections on
the position of sociology in the system of sciences and in relation
to political practice. The current crisis of liberal politics has
made Dahrendorf's work more relevant than ever, and this overview
will be of great interest to students and researchers across
sociology, political science, political ideologies and European
integration.
