Introducing Social Theory, Used [Paperback]

This comprehensive text provides the reader with a coherent and thematic introduction to all the major thinkers, issues and debates in classical and contemporary social theory. It traces the development of social theorizing from the classical ideas about modernity of Durkheim, Marx and Weber, through 20th century debates around structure and agency and developments in feminist thinking, to an accessible review of contemporary theoretical controversies in sociology. Focusing on relativism, post-modernity and postmodernism and their critics, the final section of the book provides an account of the debates at the heart of contemporary social theorizing.
