American Society

The manuscript presents a comprehensive analysis of American society, reflecting Talcott Parsons's final theoretical insights just before his death. It revises and expands upon his previous work, aiming to create a non-nostalgic theory of modernity while integrating macro and micro perspectives. The book argues for the feasibility of objective sociological knowledge and examines national characteristics in a global context. With its innovative approach to societal integration and pluralism, it offers a thought-provoking interpretation of U.S. society that remains relevant today.
