Reviews

This book is a major statement meant to stand the test of time. Connecting philosophy, social theory, and sociology, it explains in a new way what centuries of thinking about society and human action were actually about, and what the underlying intellectual issues driving all this effort were. Radically novel, fun to read, and deep both in learning and insight—a rare combination. -- Stephen Turner, author of <i>Explaining the Normative</i>
