Explained carefully and clearly throughout, Tim Delaney reviews the key concepts and contributions from brilliant classical social thinkers and recent sociological thought, spanning over 500 years of source material. He weaves together profiles of leading theorists, thorough descriptions of major academic and intellectual perspectives, and discussion of prevailing themes of interest that have concerned theorists and sociologists throughout time and will likely continue to do so in the future. The book emphasizes methods of investigation and application in its overview of the field by challenging readers to think about problems critically and in relation to key sociological theories and to also apply their sociological understanding to real, everyday events.

In this new edition, Delaney revisits the classical period and highlights the special contributions of American social theorists and their impact on the diversity of thought leading into the contemporary era. He attends to later schools of thought and weaves in important updates related to critical race theory and globalization. With updated context and further applications, the second edition of Classical and Contemporary Social Theory is a perfect addition to combined courses in social theory.  aSociological Theory - Classical  aKarl Marx   aEmile Durkheim  aGeorg Simmel  aMax Weber  aWomen to Classical Social Theory  aGeorge Herbert Mead  aAmerican Sociological TheoryvLester Frank WardvThorstein VeblenvW E B Du Bois  aSociological Theory - Contemporary  aStructural Functionalism  aNeofunctionalism  aConflict Theory  aSymbolic Interactionism  aSocial Exchange Theory  aEthnomethodology & Phenomenology  aFeminist Theory  aCritical Theory  aPostmodernismvStructuralismvPoststructuralismvColonialismvPostcolonialismvGlobalization
