Summary:

In this volume, leading practitioners in the field think reflexively about the present state of social theory and its historical analogues.Ranging across a wide terrain from the classic figures, such as Marx, to the new theoretical approaches deriving from science and technology studies, this volume represents a multi-voiced, radically diverse consideration of the question: what is "theory" today?This book is essential reading for anyone interested in social theory.
