Social Theories of History and Histories of Social Theory
ISBN: 9781783502189 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In different ways, social theory and social history represent discourses that implicitly or explicitly highlight the need to apply perspectives on modern social realities that are conducive to discerning and scrutinizing the centrality of large-scale processes that have been influencing and shaping the relationships between individuals, social groups and forms of organization, and society as a whole. Social theories with history stress form at the expense of substance (and social, political or cultural relevance); histories without social theory tend to amount to little more than the...

No Social Science without Critical Theory
ISBN: 9780762314836 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 414 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since the linguistic turn in Frankfurt School critical theory during the 1970s, philosophical concerns have become increasingly important to its overall agenda, at the expense of concrete social-scientific inquiries. At the same time, each of the individual social sciences especially economics and psychology, but also political science and sociology have been moving further and further away from the challenge key representatives of the so-called first generation of Frankfurt School critical theorists (Adorno, Horkheimer, and Marcuse) identified as central to the promise and responsibility of...

The Vitality of Critical Theory
ISBN: 9780857247971 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 352 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. The common theme of this volume is that the critical theory of the Frankfurt School is as important today, if not more so, as it was at its inception during the 1930s. It looks at the distinguishing features of this tradition and how it is critical, yet also complementary, of other approaches in the social sciences, especially in sociology. The vanishing point of critical theory is not the replacement of diverse endeavors to illuminate the nature of modern society, rather, its purpose is to bundle overly fragmented perspectives that have been developed in theoretical sociology. It includes...

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) A diverse, complex, and stable, yet volatile system, capitalism has undergone fundamental transformations over the past century.

Focusing on the structural shifts in advanced political economies, this volume brings...

Mediations of Social Life in the 21st Century
ISBN: 9781784412234 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 350 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since the beginning of the modern age, studies of ongoing transformations of social life, human sociality, and social relations and institutions have been at the forefront of social theory, alongside changes in politics, culture, and economy - and links between all of the above. In the twenty-first century, the speed at which these transformations have been occurring has accelerated precipitously, and it is impossible to predict what human civilization will look and exist like in a few decades. The essays included in this volume illuminate mediations of the individual-society relationship...

Theorizing Modern Society as a Dynamic Process
ISBN: 9781781900345 / Angielski / Twarda / 2012 / 300 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. While it was evident to the classics of social theory that modern societies are highly dynamic forms of social organization, and that this dynamic nature must be reflected explicitly and confronted directly in modes of analysis across the social sciences, over the course of the twentieth century, the acknowledgement of this fact has been weakening. As the social sciences became increasingly concerned with issues of professionalization and standards of validity inspired by more established disciplines, especially the natural sciences and economics, the focus on dynamic processes gave way to...

Globalization, Critique and Social Theory: Diagnoses and Challenges
ISBN: 9781785602474 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 320 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In recent years, under the impression and the burden of globalization and neoliberalism, debates about the relationship between the theory and practice of progress - including the theory and practice of social critique - have gone through an unexpected and momentous revival, renewal and rejuvenation. This is due in large part to the proliferation of manifest crises in the early years of the twenty-first century. The terrorist attacks in September of 2001, the financial crisis of 2008 that spawned the Great Recession, the Euro crisis that began in fall 2010 - these events provided glimpses of...

The Diversity of Social Theories
ISBN: 9780857248213 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Since the time when Talcott Parsons pursued the project of one overarching "general theory of society," the landscape of social theory has vastly changed, and the pluralism and multidimensionality increased tremendously. Today, with so many different approaches in and to social theory, and multiple ways of defining and describing their relationship to and relevance for the social sciences, there has been a growing danger of diversity and pluralism tipping into fragmentation, making the prospect of social scientists and sociologists being able to communicate with the expectation of reaching...

The Challenge of Progress: Theory Between Critique and Ideology
ISBN: 9781787145726 / Angielski / Twarda / 2019 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Globalization has accelerated the process of social, political, cultural, and especially economic transformations since the 1990s. In recent decades, this has cast doubt over the validity and reliability of many working assumptions about the nature and logic of progress in modern societies, at all levels of social structure and complexity. In The Challenge of Progress, editor Harry F. Dahms and a series of contributors explore how this doubt has been magnified, looking at how the institutions and constellations between business, labor and government have begun to weaken. The essays...

The defining feature of modern society is change - it never rests or provides its members or researchers the comfort and certainty of having attained an adequate understanding of its operations, how it functions, or where it is.

Reconstructing Social Theory, History and Practice
ISBN: 9781786354709 / Angielski / Twarda / 2016 / 304 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. With regard to developments in social theory, the past 30 years can be characterized as an Age of Deconstruction. Inspired by post-structuralism, postmodernism, critical theory, and science studies, as well as combinations of related approaches, theorists have endeavored to shatter historical meta-narratives and struggled to include previously excluded standpoints in social thought. This important trend has informed our understanding of the role of discourse, difference and expertise in determining relations of power and inequality. This volume focusses on "Reconstruction," dedicated to...
