Book Synopsis Social Theory in the Twentieth Century by : Patrick Baert
Book excerpt: Intended for students of sociology, politics, anthropology and philosophy, this book serves as a general introduction to the development of social theory, outlining key figures and schools of thought including Elster, Giddens, Foucault and Habermas. Baert (social and political sciences, Cambridge) does not just objectively present these theories, but offers a critical response. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
