Post-Philosophical Sociology (eBook, ePUB)

Eliasian Perspectives on the Sociology of Knowledge

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In a hyper-individualistic age and in the face of narrowly focused, policy-oriented research, this book revisits the humanistic world-view that is integral to Norbert Elias's preeminent figurational-process sociology, with its aim of increasing the fund of sociological knowledge that has the human condition as its horizon.
