Book Description

0333960505 978-0333960509 September 6, 2002
Focusing on society, culture, the individual, and collectivity, the author builds a powerful case for an overhaul of the basic concepts of sociology, offering a unified model of the subject matter of sociology as 'the human world' - understood as individual, interactional and institutional orders - which is part of the "natural world." Written in a straightforward and accessible style, this is a powerful restatement of the value of sociological sense as a necessary critique of common sense, and its relevance to an audience far beyond academia.
