Pierre Bourdieu, Zygmunt Bauman, Martin Heidegger, Fredric Jameson,
Richard Rorty, Nancy Chodorow, Anthony Giddens, Stuart Hall, Luce

figures in an accessible and authoritative fashion, the book provides
detailed accounts of the development of the work of major social
theorists and charts the relationship between different traditions of

Social Theory will become a major reference work in the field of
social theory because it offers in-depth commentaries that
comprehensively examine the contents, contexts and critical evaluation
of key theorists of the day.
