In Beyond Dogmatism: Studies in Historical Sociology, Andrea Borghini offers a general overview of the perspective of Historical Sociology through the main authors and topics affecting this school of thought.


All the contributors develop their chapters by traversing the history of sociological thought in a rich and innovative way. Through the analysis of authors such as Bourdieu, Lukàcs, Chase Dunn, Gramsci, Polanyi, Sombart, Mann and topics such as the critique of Capitalism, the Fetishism of Commodities, the Sociology of Concepts, the comparison between sociology and Political Science, a panorama is composed that restores the extreme topicality and richness of an approach that is particularly valuable and useful for describing and interpreting the dynamics of our contemporary world.
