Built upon a series of critical encounters with major figures in classical and present-day social and political thought, this volume offers not only a challenging critique of major traditions of social and political analysis, but unique insights into the ideas which Giddens has developed over the past two decades.

"In this generation no one has contributed more than he to both our understanding of the history of social thought and the development of social theory. The pieces republished in Politics, Sociology and Social Theory are worth reading again, for they offer critically informed engagements with diverse figures from the history of social theory." Times Higher Education Supplement "A valuable collection of papers ... Giddens's own work is a striking exception to the sterility of post-socialist social thought. The present volume shows Giddens at his refreshingly iconoclastic best ... These are all profoundly instructive contributions, which confirm Giddens's standing as the pre-eminent social theorist of his generation." John Gray, Times Literary Supplement
