<!--end-->"This volume is a comprehensive guide to theory
debates today. It is composed of 30 original chapters offering
succinct, accessible overviews of the key ideas of modern theory -
from Marx, American pragmatism to current debates over national
identity, postmodernism, and civil society, I can think of no
better introduction to classical and contemporary theory."
Steven Seidman, author of Contested Knowledge: Social Theory in
a Postmodern Era
"An interesting, thorough, and useful anthology of informed
commentary that will enliven the study of social theory for novice
as well as expert. Particularly innovative is the use of European
scholars whose analyses of theory is too seldom taken into account
within the anglophone world. Their interpretations will, I am sure,
add a fruitful dimension to an otherwise foreshortened
understanding of the canon." Alan Sica, Pennsylvania State
University
"This volume aspires to be a comprehensive and sophisticated introduction to classical and modern social theory...providing a range and depth of analysis." Raymond A. Morrow, University of Alberta
