Cover of Talcott Parsons & Giuseppe Sciortino: American Society (ePUB)

Never before published, American Society is the product of Talcott Parsons’ last major theoretical project. Completed just a few weeks before his death, this is Parsons’ promised ‘general book on American society’. It offers a systematic presentation and revision of Parson’s landmark theoretical positions on modernity and the possibility of objective sociological knowledge. Even after the passage of many years, American Society imparts a remarkably provocative interpretation of US society and a creative approach to social theory.
