Summary: Good but outdated
Comment: 'The Structure of Sociological Theory' is now out of print for its content is so out of date that it would rather write whole other book than update. to keep up with the current, the volume of book should be too bulky to be used on class, thou it was very concise and adaquately structured account on theoretical edifice. for instance, he took Dahrendorf as example to conflict theory. it should have some appealing point in '70s but now could u find anyone to read him? this kind of example are the major problem arising from it aging. as the title implies this book not intended to focus on individual theorist. but I read this book twice on undergraduate and graduate courses as introduction to not only theoretical schools but also theorists.
Rating: 5
Summary: An excellent overview of sociological theory
Comment: The book has an introduction examining sociological theory at a meta-level (ie; studying the structures of the theories rather than the theories themselves) and then goes on to a comprehensive overview of the schools of thought in sociology. There are too many chapters to list (32 in all) but the major sections are functional theorizing, conflict theorizing, exchange theorizing, interactionist theorizing, structural theorizing, and assessment and synthesis of sociological theory.
The book would suit a beginning graduate student wanting an overview of the subject at a serious level or the curious and able undergraduate student or lay reader.
I dont have the sociological background to comment on the merits of the discussions from an academic perspective except to say that they seem well written and clearly argued.
Summary: Comprehensive and well written.
