| Summary |
This book investigates the relation between Durkheims sociology, Critical Theory, and the philosophy of social sciences. The book is organized in four sections: confronting Durkheim and other critical traditions; inquiring his social and critical ontology; interrogating the relation between social practices and justice; and discussing his relevance in contemporary politics and political theory. An international group of philosophers, sociologists, and critical theorists contribute to show Durkheims reflection as an important complementor an alternativeto the Hegelian-Marxist and post-structuralist conceptions of social critique. In this way, the book intends to inaugurate a new reflection on social critique at the intersection between philosophy and sociological theory. Nicola Marcucci is a member of the Laboratoire interdisciplinaire d'etudes sur les reflexivites - Fonds Yan Thomas (LYER-FYT) at the Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales (EHESS) in Paris, France and he is Hans Speier Visiting Professor in the Department of Sociology at the New School for Social Research, New York, USA |
