Social theories with history stress form at the expense of substance (and social, political or cultural relevance); histories without social theory tend to amount to little more than the enumeration of isolated facts, at the expense of cohesive narratives that may be socially compelling and meaningful.  Representing a range of approaches and emphases, the chapters in this volume address and illustrate linkages between social theory and history; social theory and historical analysis as mutually supportive frames of analysis, and affinities between the history of social thought and the history of modern societies.  Both classical and more recent theorists feature prominently, especially Durkheim and Weber, but also such central figures in the field as Bourdieu and Luhmann. 7aHistoryxSocial History.2bisacsh 7aSocial SciencexGeneral.2bisacsh 7aSocial & cultural history.2bicssc 7aSocial theory.2bicssc 0aSociology. 0aSociologyxHistory. 0aSocial history.1 aDahms, Harry F. 1 z9781783502189 0aCurrent perspectives in social theory ;v31.40uhttp://www.emeraldinsight.com/0278-1204/31  c223024d223024
