Modern Reconstruction of Classical Thought

The author argues for a synthesis of Durkheim's and Marx's insights within sociology, grounded in Weber's presuppositions. This work emphasizes the need to transform idealist and materialist traditions into a multidimensional analytic framework. Focusing on Talcott Parsons, the book explores his complex efforts to achieve this transformation, positioning him as a significant contemporary thinker alongside the classical founders of sociology.
