Synopsis

This volume examines four key ideas that have played a central role in discussion and thought about the nature of society: industrial society, democracy, individualism and modernity.

Within each chapter, a number of ancillary ideas are discussed such as alienation, technology, capitalism, socialism, social class, citizenship, bureaucracy and community. The thoughts of Karl Marx, Max Weber, Emile Durkheim and Georg Simmel on these topics are also discussed.
