Description
Anthony Giddens has been in the forefront of developments in social theory for the past decade. In The Constitution of Society, he outlines the distinctive position he has evolved during that period and offers a full statement of a major new perspective in social thought. This book is a synthesis and elaboration of ideas touched on in previous works but described here for the first time in an integrated and comprehensive form.
A particular feature of this work is Giddens's concern to connect abstract problems of theory to an interpretation of the nature of empirical method in the social sciences. In presenting his own ideas, Giddens mounts a critical attack on some of the more orthodox sociological views.
The Constitution of Society is an invaluable reference book for all those concerned with the basic issues in contemporary social theory.

Richard Bernstein of Haverford College calls it essential reading alongside major sociological theories by Parsons and Habermas. The Times Higher Education Supplement highlights the book's serious and craftsmanlike qualities, making it a pleasure to read.
