Vico and Naples: The Urban Origins of Modern Social Theory

Vico and Naples is an intellectual portrait of the Neapolitan philosopher Giambattista Vico () that reveals the politics and motivations of one of Europe's first scientists of society. According to the commonplaces of the literature on the Neapolitan,Vico was a solitary figure who,at a remove from the political life of his larger community,steeped himself in the recondite debates of classical scholarship to produce his magnum opus,the New Science. Barbara Ann Naddeo shows,

Ideology and Modern Culture: Critical Social Theory in the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thompson, John, PUBLISHER: Polity Press, In this major new work, Thompson develops an original account of ideology and relates it to the analysis of culture and mass communication in modern Societies. Thompson offers a concise and critical appraisal of major contributions to the theory of ideology, from Marx and Mannheim, to Horkheimer, Adorno and Habermas. He argues that these thinkers - and social and political theorists more generally - have failed to deal adequately with the nature of mass communication and its role in the modern world. In order to overcome this deficiency, Thompson undertakes a wide-ranging analysis of the development of mass communication, outlining a distinctive social theory of the mass media and their impact.

Acquiring Genomes: A Theory of the Origins of Species

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Margulis, Lynn / Sagan, Dorion / Sagan, Dorion, PUBLISHER: Basic Books, How do new species evolve? Although Darwin identified inherited variation as the creative force in evolution, he never formally speculated where it comes from. His successors thought that new species arise from the gradual accumulation of random mutations of DNA. But despite its acceptance in every major textbook, there is no documented instance of it. Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan take a radically new approach to this question. They show that speciation events are not, in fact, rare or hard to observe. Genomes are acquired by infection, by feeding, and by other ecological associations, and then inherited. "Acquiring Genomes" is the first work to integrate and analyze the overwhelming mass of evidence for the role of bacterial and other symbioses in the creation of plant and animal diversity. It provides the most powerful explanation of speciation yet given.

Social Mechanisms: An Analytical Approach to Social Theory

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hedstrom, Peter / Swedberg, Richard / Hernes, Gudmund, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The mechanism approach calls attention to an intermediary level of analysis, in between pure description and story-telling, on the one hand, and grand theorizing and universal social laws, on the other. These essays, written by prominent social scientists, advance criticisms of current trends in social theory and suggest alternative approaches. For social theory to be of use for the working social scientist, it must attain a high level of precision and provide a toolbox from which middle range theories can be constructed.
