The Structure of Social Action: A Study in Social Theory With Special Reference to a Group of Recent European Writers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book is a compelling journey into the evolution of social theory in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author delves into the work of four influential thinkers: Alfred Marshall, Vilfredo Pareto, Emile Durkheim, and Max Weber. Each chapter presents an in-depth analysis of their theories, focusing on how their ideas were shaped by the empirical problems they sought to understand. The author reveals how the work of these thinkers, despite their different backgrounds and intellectual approaches, converge on a shared core, a "voluntaristic theory of action" that transcends the limitations of earlier positivistic and utilitarian paradigms. By examining the intellectual evolution of these four key figures, the author sheds light on the dynamic interplay between theory and empirical observation in the development of social science.
