This book examines the contributions made by Talcott Parsons to sociology over the course of a career spanning half a century. Summarizing the development of Parsons' thought, it shows how his work on the conceptualization of the social world via the unifying structure of four functions-adaptation, goal-attainment, integration, and latent pattern maintenance (or AGIL)-can further the goal of explanation and understanding social phenomena. With attention to the contemporary and subsequent reception and adaptation of Parsons' work, its practical importance and its continuing relevance to our understanding of the social world, Reintroducing Talcott Parsons will appeal to scholars and students of sociology with interests in social theory and the history of social thought.

Addressing the neglect of the work of Talcott Parsons, the complexity of whose thought and the opacity of whose writing style can prove daunting, this book provides a comprehensible account of the major theoretical accomplishments in his work and the reasons for which his legacy remains important to contemporary sociological debates. With attention to the unification of theoretical concepts for the humanities, basic methodological issues such as empiricism and functional analysis, the definition and status of culture, the interaction between the individual and society, and the question of modernity and societal change, Reading Talcott Parsons: A Re-Assessment of his Legacy offers an orientation in the work of one of the twentieth century's most important sociologists and explores the reason for which his contributions to the discipline are of enduring importance. As such it will appeal to scholars and students across the social sciences with interests in social theory, social research methodology and the history of sociology.

This book reintroduces the work of Florian Znaniecki (1882-1958) as an innovative constructor of modern sociology who viewed the processes of modernity through the prism of culture, and rediscovers his relational thought on the emergence and transformation of cultural and social systems.Exploring the contribution of Znaniecki's philosophy of culturalism to the cultural approach in sociology, it shows the importance of Znaniecki's work for the foundation of sociology as one of the cultural sciences. Through an examination of his work on the world society from a cultural perspective, the author reveals Znaniecki to have been a pioneer of global sociology, and shows that sociology has much to gain from a fuller appreciation of his legacy in its understanding of processes of social and cultural change.Aimed at students and researchers of sociology, Reintroducing Florian Znaniecki will appeal to those with interests in the dynamics of culture, the cultural sciences, theoretical sociology and sociological method. It presents stimulating analytical concepts and offers inspiration for research in many areas, including knowledge, science, education, creative leadership, the emergence of modern nations and the world society.
