Understanding and explaining the causes and consequences of social change has been an important concern of social theorists throughout the history of sociology.
The book argues that theories have developed in a discontinuous and creatively speculative manner and are likely to continue to do so. It demonstrates the continuing relevance of classical theories and makes a clear case for engaging with the historical and conceptual context of contemporary perspectives. Its common substantive theme of social change and its general conceptual framework, placing different perspectives on a grid of ontological and epistemological tensions or dilemmas, gives the discussion consistency and coherence without either arguing narrowly for convergence in social theory or justifying eclecticism.
This is a text for students of sociology and related social science disciplines who want to understand the contribution of social theory in its rich diversity to understanding the wider social world. The book also offers a critical contribution to the continuing debate about the state of theory.
