Social theory is the theoretical core of the social sciences, clearly distinguishable from political theory and cultural analysis. This 2009 book offers a unique overview of the development of social theory from the end of the Second World War in 1945 to the present day. Spanning the literature in English, French and German, it provides an excellent background to the most important social theorists and theories in contemporary sociological thought, with crisp summaries of the main books, arguments and controversies. It also deals with newly emerging schools from rational choice to symbolic interactionism, with new ambitious approaches (Habermas, Luhmann, Giddens, Bourdieu), structuralism and antistructuralism, critical revisions of modernization theory, feminism and neopragmatism. Written by two of the world's leading sociologists and based on their extensive academic teaching, this unrivalled work is ideal both for students in the social sciences and humanities and for anyone interested in contemporary theoretical debates.

补标一下。在深度和清晰度的平衡方面，在读过的教材里无出其右者。英译流畅准确。卢曼的章节印象尤其深刻，之后再没读到过那么举重若轻的卢曼引论。
