Synopsis

Social thought provides general theories to explain actions and behavior of society as a whole, encompassing sociological, political and philosophical ideas. Social theory is used to make distinctions and generalizations among different types of societies, and to analyses modernity as it has emerged in the past few centuries. Classical social theory has generally been presented from a perspective of Western philosophy, and often regarded as Eurocentric. Ancient Greek philosophers, including Aristotle and Plato, did not see a distinction between politics and society. The concept of society did not come until much later, during the Enlightenment period. The term, society, was probably first used as key concept by Rousseau in discussion of social relations. This book provides deep insight into various dimensions of issues relating to the subject.
