Comprised of a vast selection of texts that have changed how we think about the social, this book includes the foundational texts of social theory while looking at writing that addresses the problems of contemporary society with selections from Émile Durkheim and Max Weber to Edward Said and Timothy Snyder. As the world is threatened by a global wave of anti-democratic movements, the eighth edition of this book adds a new section to remind us of the origins of democratic values in the 1700s and a new concluding section focuses on how, in the 2020s, social theorists are rethinking the world in order to better understand and resist the menace of anti-democratic movements. This classic text continues to shift our current and historical understanding of social theory. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharles Lemert\u003c\/b\u003e is University Professor and Andrus Professor of Social Theory Emeritus at Wesleyan University.
