• catalog abstract "Accessible and authoritative, this jargon-free textbook provides an introduction to the central issues in modern social theory. The book offers the reader a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to social theory, with the following key features. It is organised around core dualisms in social theory, focusing on: the individual and society; agency-structure and macro-micro. It includes a balanced account of the contribution of major social theorists, covering the work of Talcott Parsons, Louis Althusser, Michel Foucault, Anthony Giddens, Norbert Elias, Dorothy Smith, Erving Goffman, Jonathan Turner, Randall Collins and Jurgen Habermas. The ideas of individual theorists are explained within the context of different perspectives, including symbolic interactionism, phenomenology, Marxism and feminism. Throughout the book Layder stresses the links between theory, empirical research and everyday life. He also highlights the continuities between the concerns of classical and modern social theory, as well as emphasising the connections between different theories as a basis for establishing dialogue between them. This major new introduction to contemporary social theory will be an essential text for students in sociology, social psychology, social theory and organisation studies.".
