Culture, Structure and Agency: Toward a Truly Multidimensional Sociology
Rubinstein, David
This book addresses two key issues in sociological theory: the debate between structural and cultural approaches and the problem of agency. It does this through looking at the work of Marx, Weber and Durkheim and the ideas of modern theorists like Pierre Bourdieu, Anthony Giddens, and Talcott Parsons; and examines economics, rational choice theory, network theory, ethnomethodology and symbolic interactionism.
