This textbook provides a systematic, comparative overview of the fundamental issues of the social and societal theories being discussed in sociology, even providing diagnoses of the present using classical theories. This edition contains a new introduction on the concept of theory and a chapter on both the classics of social philosophy and the interactionist tradition.
