Social Theory in the Twentieth Century offers an easy-to-read but provocative account of the development of social theory. The author covers a range of key figures and schools of thought, including Elster, Giddens, Foucault and Habermas. Written in a lively style and avoiding jargon, it is aimed at students who wish to gain an understanding of the main debates and dilemmas driving social theory. The author bridges the gap between philosophy and social theory, locating the theoretical views discussed within wider historical traditions.








Rather than providing a neutral summary of the different authors and theories, the book provides new and original interpretations of key figures in social theory. The chapter on Foucault, for instance, looks at him from a new angle, quite different from the usual interpretations of the thrust of his work. The author also seeks to relate the various authors in traditions to one another in a systematic way.








This book will become the standard introduction to social theory for students in sociology, politics and anthropology.
