Foundations of Social Theory : A Critical Introduction Hardback

Hardback

Pre-Order

Description

Foundations of Social Theory: A Critical Introduction accessibly introduces students to classical and contemporary social theory, exploring the foundational theories which shape the discipline whilst also engaging critically with their contribution and presenting the more progressive and contemporary theorists in dialogue with canonical figures. Social theory is introduced as the construction and connection of concepts which make social inquiry possible, whilst appreciating that the study of society is never truly objective.

The relationship between positionality, politics, research and knowledge production is discussed and ideas from critical theorists, feminist theorists, and decolonial, and critical race theorists are foregrounded.

Travelling chronologically and thematically from the birth of the discipline and the work of Marx, Weber and Durkheim through to intersectionality, queer theory and decolonial and postcolonial theory, this book gives students a strong foundation in the broad field of social theory whilst also encouraging them to think critically about the theories and theorists presented. Equipped with end-of-chapter questions and further reading, this book will be essential reading for any student studying social theory for the first time.
