About the Book: Encyclopaedia of the Theoretical Sociology (3 Vols. Set)
Sociological theory is a mixture of conceptual efforts, some devoted to
developing scientific principles and models, others to describing empirical
events, still others dedicated to criticism of oppressive social arrangements,
and many directed to meta-analysis of theories and theorists. The main objective
of the second edition of this three volumes encyclopaedia is to present a
historical development and critical analysis of 194 sociological theories from
its inception to post-modernity. The second edition of this encyclopaedia has
been revised, expanded and includes 44 new entries contributed by noted scholars
that help in completing all the important sociological theories
