Description

The Blackwell Companion to Major Classical Social Theorists provides a comprehensive review of classical social theory. In original essays especially commissioned for this volume leading experts and practitioners examine the life and work of 12 major theorists. Contributors discuss the social and intellectual context of the theorists' writings, and offer an analysis of their impact over time. Each chapter balances systematic treatment of a particular theorist with personal interpretations of the theorist's work. Edited by a leading figure in social theory, this Companion offers an indispensable resource and reference to the life and times of the thinkers who have tried to make sense of our social surroundings.
