From this perspective, we should see a weeding out of theories to a small number, but this is not likely to occur because each of the many theoretical perspectives has a resource base of adherents. As a result, theories in sociology do not compete head on with each other as much as they coexist. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis seminal reference work was brought together with an eye to capturing the diversity of theoretical activity in sociology - specifically the forefront of theory. Contributors describe what they themselves are doing right now rather than what others have done in the past. The goal of this volume is to allow prominent theorists working in a variety of traditions - who wouldn't usually come together - to review their work. The chapters in this volume represent a mix of theoretical orientations and strategies, but these these theories are diverse and represent the prominent theoretical discussions in sociology today. Some areas included are: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection I: Theoretical Methodologies and Strategies \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection II: The Cultural Turn in Sociological Theorizing \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection III: Theorizing Interaction Processes \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection IV: Theorizing from the Systemic and Macrolevel \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection V: New Directions in Evolutionary Theorizing \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSection VI: Theorizing on Power, Conflict, and Change \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSectionVII: Theorizing from Assumptions of Rationality \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis handbook will be of interest to those wanting a broad spectrum and overview of late 20th - early 21st century sociological theory. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45274939031703,"sku":"9780387324586","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780387324586.webp?v=1769281397","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/handbook-of-sociological-theory-9780387324586","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
