商品簡介
Social theory is a crucial resource for the social sciences. It provides rich insights into how human beings think and act, and how contemporary social life is constructed. But often the key ideas of social theorists are expressed in highly technical and difficult language that can hide more than it reveals.
Cutting through the often off-putting writing styles of social theorists, this book demonstrates exactly what social theory is about, clearly presenting the key themes of major social theory from the classical thinkers onwards. Areas covered include Marxism, structuralism, post-structuralism, phenomenology, symbolic interactionism, feminism and structuration theories. Wide-ranging in scope and coverage, the book is concise in presentation and free from jargon.
Showing why social theory matters, and why it is of far-reaching social and political importance, the book is ideal for students across the social sciences seeking a clear, crisp mapping of a complex but very rewarding area.
* Wide-ranging introduction to social theory that carefully avoids simplification of ideas whilst presenting theories in an accessible language for students.
* Inspired by the authors’ own teaching and dissatisfaction with current books on the market to provide accessible yet sophisticated guides to social theory.
* Written in a concise and jargon-free style, incorporating vivid everyday examples to aid students’ understanding of complex ideas.
* Encourages students to further their studies with features such as recommended readings from the most important, and “typical”, original works of particular theorists, and comparisons between thinkers and between schools of thought.
