Arendt Contra Sociology (eBook, ePUB)

Theory, Society and its Science

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Arendt Contra Sociology re-assesses the relationship between Hannah Arendt's work and the theoretical foundations of sociology, bringing her insights to bear on key themes within contemporary theoretical sociology. Departing from the view of Arendt as a political theorist who sought to rescue politics from society, and political theory from the social sciences, this book re-examines her distinctions between labor, fabrication and action as a theory of the fundamental ontology of human societies, revisiting her criticism of the tendency of many sociological paradigms to conflate the activity of fabrication with that of action.
