Focusing on the context and significance of theoretical ideas as well as their content, this work aims to give students a broader understanding of the work of sociological theorists. The historical context of sociological theory and the nature and types of theoretical orientations found in sociological analysis today is documented. The volume includes a section on postmodernism along with a discussion of the influence of Marion Evans on the work of Herbert Spencer. It also incorporates material on G.H. Mead and T. Veblen, along with an updated section on Marx to reflect the end of the Soviet Union.
