The essays range from psychoanalysis and contemporary feminism to the role theory, from the analysis of class and culture to the debate about intellectuals and the new class'. In critically reviewing contemporary thought on these issues, the author has developed a perspective centred on the analysis of social practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEasy to read, often witty, the essays represent an attempt to shift social theory into the real world of the late twentieth century, to go beyond the limits of orthodox sociology and radical dogmas, to think through theoretical questions without losing touch with practical politics. This is a must read for students and scholars of sociology. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePreface\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cb\u003e Part I 1. \u003c\/b\u003eDr Freud and the course of history\u003cb\u003e 2. \u003c\/b\u003eMen’s bodies\u003cb\u003e 3. \u003c\/b\u003eCrisis tendencies in patriarchy and capitalism\u003cb\u003e 4. \u003c\/b\u003eHow should we theorise patriarchy?\u003cb\u003e 5. \u003c\/b\u003eClass, gender and Sartre’s theory of practice\u003cb\u003e Part II 6. \u003c\/b\u003eLogic and politics in theories of class\u003cb\u003e 7. \u003c\/b\u003eComplexities of fury leave…A critique of the Althusserian approach to class\u003cb\u003e 8. \u003c\/b\u003eThe black box of habit on the wings of history: reflections on the theory of social reproduction\u003cb\u003e 9. \u003c\/b\u003eClass formation on a world scale\u003cb\u003e Part III 10. \u003c\/b\u003eThe concept of role and what to do with it\u003cb\u003e 11. \u003c\/b\u003e‘The glory of God and the permissible delectation of the spirit’.
