Routledge Arendt Contra Sociology - Social Theory Book

Explore the complex relationship between political theory and the social sciences with Arendt Contra Sociology: Theory, Society and its Science. This volume from the Classical and Contemporary Social Theory series examines the work of Hannah Arendt, a thinker often recognized for her efforts to separate politics from society. While many scholars focus on her desire to rescue political theory from the social sciences, this book shifts focus to her deep insights regarding the constitution of society and the role of sociology. By re-assessing Arendt's work alongside the theoretical foundations of sociology, this text brings her ideas to bear on major themes in contemporary theoretical sociology. It offers a fresh perspective for students, academics, and readers interested in how social science and political thought intersect. This Routledge publication provides a necessary re-reading of Arendt to better understand her contributions to the study of society and its scientific analysis.
