This comprehensive book delves into the future of the social sciences and the reconstruction of society in contemporary times. Drawing inspiration from the lead piece "For a New Classic Sociology," it advocates for a transformative theoretical synthesis that seeks to overcome the fragmentation, specialization, and professionalization within the social sciences. The position paper, accompanied by insightful responses from a team of esteemed social theorists, presents an alternative to utilitarianism and the dominance of rational choice models in shaping social theory and moral, social, and political philosophy. It proposes a fresh articulation of social theory that encompasses concepts of reciprocity, care, and recognition.
Furthermore, the book encourages a return to classical social theory while exploring the interconnections between theories of reciprocity, care, and recognition. This radical intervention in the study of the social sciences is of utmost importance to scholars and researchers across various social science disciplines, including social theory, sociology, and social anthropology.
Contributions from Frank Adloff, Jeffrey C. Alexander, Francis Chateauraynaud, Raewyn Connell, François Dubet, Philip Gorski, Nathalie Heinich, Qu Jingdong, Mike Savage, Michael Singleton, and Philippe Steiner further enrich the volume's insights and perspectives.
