Samenvatting
aeo An accessible introduction to social theory, both classical and contemporary. aeo Focuses on the concept of modernity, which is used as a lens to examine a wide range of theoretical literature.
This book is designed as a textbook in social theory which takes the concept of modernity as its guiding theme. Beginning with the classical sociologists, including Marx, Weber, Durkheim and Simmel, the author examines a series of arguments and debates concerned with the social, political and economic potential of modern societies, and with the apparent failure to live up to their earlier promise. These questions are then pursued through the work of later social theorists, including the writings of the Frankfurt School, Foucault, Baudrillard, Beck, Giddens and others.
This major new textbook in social theory takes the concept of modernity as its guiding theme.

Must we abandon the principles of the Enlightenment? Can we still defend the idea that there are universal properties of social enquiry? What should our reaction be to the pluralist claims of postmodernist authors? In responding to these and other questions, Dodd develops a distinctive view of the scope and purpose of social theory today. Accessible, wide-ranging and up-to-date, this textbook will be of interest to second-year undergraduates and above studying social theory, sociology, political theory and human geography.
This major new textbook in social theory takes the concept of modernity as its guiding theme.
