Routledge For a New Classic Sociology: A Proposition, followed by a Debate

This Routledge volume examines the future of the social sciences and calls for a new theoretical synthesis that overcomes fragmentation and specialization within contemporary academia. The position paper and responses from world-class social theorists provide an alternative to utilitarian approaches and rational choice models that have colonized social science discourse. The book proposes a fresh articulation of social theory whilst integrating moral, social and political philosophy, offering readers a comprehensive framework for reconsidering how social science should address modern societal challenges and reconstruction in contemporary times.
