The Structure of Social Theory

Více o knize

Focusing on human social relations, this book advocates for a hermeneutic sociology rooted in Gadamer's philosophy. It argues that this approach is essential for understanding today's dramatic social transformations, emphasizing that sociologists should prioritize interpersonal connections rather than traditional concepts of structure and agency. The author contends that such a perspective does not revert to idealism or individualism, but instead provides a coherent framework for critique and analysis in contemporary sociology.
