«Studies in Social and Political Theory» is Anthony Giddens's social theory essay, published by HarperCollins in hardback (416 pages, in English).
The book brings together a series of studies on European social theory of its classical period, roughly from the mid-nineteenth century to the First World War, and asks what implications this heritage has for the social sciences today. Giddens discusses problems of method, development and social transformation, the origin of sociology as a discipline and the condition of social science as critique, and proposes revising received orthodoxies to reconstruct contemporary social theory.
The title belongs to the Hutchinson University Library collection, as stated on the original cover.
For students and readers of sociology, social philosophy and political theory interested in the thought of Anthony Giddens.
