Talcott Parsons has been one of the most influential American
sociologists of the postwar period. Bryan Turner's selections from
Parsons' work provide a comprehensive overview of his principal
contributions and are grouped under the following subdivisions:
religion and modern society; life, sex, and death; sociological
theory; and American society and the world order.
These selections offer an exposition of the core features of Parsons' sociology and demonstrate his continuing relevance to critical issues today, including globalization, the place of American civilization in the world order, and the importance of sociological theory as an analysis of modern culture.
