Both classical and contemporary social theorists have created a range of frameworks to formulate and develop concepts of social structure. Focusing on the work of the key theorists, Emile Durkheim, Karl Marx, Max Weber, Talcott Parsons and Louis Althusser, Society and its Metaphors maps the linguistic basis of different theories of social structure.

"A quite outstanding achievement, Society and its Metaphors engages thoroughly with the implications of poststructuralist strictures on explanatory theorising, and with the heightened reflexivity about language now pervasive among social theorists. Yet the book still remains committed to an explanatory project of social theorising, one more cautious and circumspect, but none the less challenging and ambitious. The indispensable but problematic role of metaphor is the thread which binds together a remarkably integrated work." Ted Benton, University of Essex
