Features: This book provides a profound analysis of the main ideas and representative works of Marx, Durkheim, and Weber, serving as a classic work for deeply understanding these three intellectual giants who established the fundamental framework of contemporary sociology. In the first three parts of the book, Giddens conducts meticulous textual analyses of the three masters, attempting to reveal the inherent coherence in their contributions to social theory. In the conclusion, Giddens discusses the most important method for comparing Marx with the other two masters and clarifies some previous misunderstandings on this issue. The book is introduced by Peking University Press from Cambridge University Press in the UK, aiming to allow social science researchers and students in China to enjoy the authentic original works of foreign classics.
