This innovative textbook presents a comprehensive and up-to-date synthesis of contemporary social thought, and enables students with a basic grasp of sociology to develop an understanding of the vast and complex body of sociological theory. "Modern Sociological Theory" is organized around concepts, rather than schools of thought or individual theorists. It establishes that there is a central theoretical tradition in sociology, and that the core debates of sociological theory focus on common questions. Lucid coverage is provided of: agency, rationality, structure and "system" - core concepts which sociological theory must attempt to reconcile; and culture, power, gender, differentiation and stratification - central phenomena which sociological theory seeks to explain. The major contributions which have been made to the analysis of each concept and substantive issue are outlined, and the present state of the debate is indicated.
