The book presents a panoramic view of current sociological understanding of the emergent social reality. It is a collection of eighteen essays, and can be put into four major steams of thought. In fact, such kind of a discourse cannot have a common theme leading to logical conclusions. Though most of the contributors have concentrated their attention on social development and change, a few of them have also expressed their concerns for sociological theory. Rest of the essays are of different nature questioning the existential basis of human action, examining Nasr's philosophy on religion and nature and caste has also been taken into consideration. The essays are not only exhaustive but also shed enormous light on the Hindu social theory. Two contributors have raised the issue of workers participation and provided a detailed model to redeem the crisis. The book will be invaluable for both academics and the lay readers to appreciate the critical issues in modern Indian society. (jacket). Seller Inventory # 109954
