The Social Theory of Practices: Tradition, Tacit Knowledge and Prepositions
ISBN: 9780745613727 / Angielski / Miękka / 1994 / 160 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. This book presents the first analysis and critique of the idea of practice as it has developed in the various theoretical traditions of the social sciences and the humanities. The concept of a practice, understood broadly as a tacit possession that is 'shared' by and the same for different people, has a fatal difficulty, the author argues. This object must in some way be transmitted, 'reproduced', in Bourdieu's famous phrase, in different persons. But there is no plausible mechanism by which such a process occurs. The historical uses of the concept, from Durkheim to Kripke's version of...

Max Weber and the Dispute Over Reason and Value: A Study of Philosophy, Ethics and Politics
ISBN: 9780415489553 / Angielski / Miękka / 2009 / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The problem of the nature of values and the relation between values and rationality is one of the defining issues of twentieth-century thought and Max Weber was one of the defining figures in the debate. In this book, Turner and Factor consider the development of the dispute over Max Weber's contribution to this discourse, by showing how Weber's views have been used, revised and adapted in new contexts. The story of the dispute is itself fascinating, for it cuts across the major political and intellectual currents of the twentieth century, from positivism, pragmatism and value-free...

He also presents a fresh view of the relationship between qualitative and statistical claims and shows their complementary character. Dr. Turner's lucid and comprehensive...
