A critical dictionary of sociology /
Boudon, Raymond,
A critical dictionary of sociology / Raymond Boudon and François Bourricaud ; selected and translated by Peter Hamilton. - xiii, 438 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm
Translated from the French. This translation originally published: 1989.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Each entry grapples directly with an issue, whether theoretical, epistemological, philosophical, political or empirical, and provides a strong statement of what the authors think about it. The discussions are considered but argumentative. By reaffirming that a non-marxist style of critique is still possible, Boudon and Bourricaud have presented a distinctive approach to the key issues which confront the societies of the 20th and 21st centuries. For some this work will be a textbook, for others an indispensable sourcebook of sociological concepts, and for most a way of opening our eyes to new dimensions in our understanding of the great ideas and theories of sociology.
