EBook Description: Politics, Sociology, And Social Theory: Encounters With Classical And Contemporary Social Theory consists of a series of critical engagements with major figures in classical and present-day social and political thought. It offers not only a challenging critique of major traditions of social and political analysis but also unique insights into the ideas that Anthony Giddens has developed over the past twenty years. Giddens has attempted to strike a balance between classical and contemporary theorists including politics and sociology in the thought of Max Weber, analysis of Emile Durkheim's political sociology, Comte and the origins of positivism, and essays on Parsons (the concept of "power"), Marcuse (One-Dimensional Man), Garfinkel (ethnomethodology and hermeneutics), Habermas (labor and interaction), and Foucault (the new French conservatism), and a backward glance at Fredrick Nietzsche and Karl Marx. Politics, Sociology And Social Theory serves as a comprehensive introduction to some of the main debates in the social and political sciences today.

epresenting Reality: Discourse, Rhetoric and Social Construction Book

How is reality manufactured? The idea of social construction has become a commonplace of much social research, yet precisely what is constructed, and how, and even what constructionism means, is often unclear or taken for granted. In this major work, Jonathan Potter offers a fascinating tour of the central themes raised by these questions.
Representing Reality provides a unique and accessible overview of the different traditions in constructionist thought. Potter provides an integrated account that both shows how descriptions are made factual by the use of specific procedures, and offers a helpful guide for future research on these issues. The points are illustrated throughout with varied and engaging examples taken from newspaper stories, relationship counselling sessions, accounts of the paranormal, social workers' assessments of violent parents, informal talk between programme makers, political arguments and everyday conversations.

Values, Education and the Adult Book

In this study of the main conceptual and normative issues to which the education of the adult gives rise, the author demonstrates that these issues can be understood and resolved only by coming to grips with some of the central and most contentious questions in epistemology, philosophy of mind, ethics, and social philosophy. A salient feature of the book is its searching examination of the different types of value judgement by which all educational discourse is permeated. The analysis of the nature and justification of educational judgements forms the basis of an overall philosophy of adult education which should provide a much needed axiological framework for the guidance of practitioners in this growing area of educational concern.

Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics Book

Japan�s welfare state is puzzling. On most measures, Japan�s welfare state is small. Its social spending levels are low; its tax revenue is small; and its benefit levels are meager (Figure 0.1).1 Japan�s social spending programs are among the least redistributive in the advanced industrial world (Table 0.1). At first glance, Japan�s small welfare spending appears to confirm the conventional scholarly wisdom that attributes the development of a generous and redistributive welfare state to a strong social democratic party � supported by well-organized and centralized labor unions. Yet despite its meager social spending, Japan has nonetheless managed to achieve a fairly egalitarian income distribution.
