Giddens, Anthony
In Defence of Sociology: Essays, Interpretations and Rejoinders
In this book the author challenges such an interpretation, showing that sociology continues to hold a central position within the social sciences. Looking both to the past of sociology and the diversity of intellectual trends found in the present-day, Giddens explores many aspects of the sociological heritage. Comte, Durkheim, Parsons, Marshall, and Habermas are among the figures covered. Giddens also connects sociological work directly to current political issues and places the discipline of sociology in the context of broad questions of social and political theory.
This book will be of interest to undergraduates and professionals in the fields of sociology, anthropology and political science.
