Situating Social Theory

…a very substantial and reliable introduction to social theory, imaginatively written and extremely readable.” – William Outhwaite, Professor of Sociology, University of Sussex
This original and approachable text examines social theory in the context of its traditions and historical development, and explores its contemporary relevance in explaining society and understanding social relations.
The book begins by charting the history of social theory, examining its development in terms of the Enlightenment project and the cultural and intellectual contexts in which theorists worked and constructed their ideas.
