Produktbeschreibung

After a period in which sociology was torn apart by the polarized claims of micro- and macro-methodology, an increasing number of sociologists are now attempting a fusion of the two approaches. In this volume, some of the most distinguished sociologists set out possible resolutions of the debate. Each of the chapters, placed in perspective by the editors' prologue, approaches the problem from a unique angle. Contributors include Aaron Cicourel, Randall Collins, Troy Duster, Rom Harré, Anthony Giddens, Gilles Fauconnier, Victor Lidz, Niklas Luhmann, Jürgen HabermasMichel Callon, Bruno Latour and Pierre Bourdieu.
