Opis

Daniel Bell is one of the most famous sociologists of his generation. He has been hailed as the prophet of the emergence of a new society, the post-industrial society, and as one of the leading conservative critics of contemporary culture. In this text, the author opens with a discussion of Bell's biography, his intellectual interests and associates, political affiliations and value commitments. Bell's conceptual and theoretical innovation is analyzed and situated in relation to other theoretical tendencies within the field of sociological enquiry.

Recenzje

`Malcolm Water has produced a carefully balanced, well crafted, critical appreciation of Daniel Bell's work. The beauty of the text is that it enables the reader to appreciate the richness and potential of Bell's work as well as to recognise its limitations.' - Barry Smart, University of Auckland
