1. Teoria Social
A concise, accessible introduction to the main currents in social theory that traces classical foundations (Durkheim, Marx, Weber) through structural, interactionist, phenomenological and critical traditions to contemporary debates about modernity, postmodernity, identity and globalization. It explains central concepts—structure and agency, social action, power, institutions and rationality—compares rival explanations, and examines the methodological and philosophical assumptions behind different approaches. The account balances exposition with critical evaluation, showing how theoretical perspectives shape empirical research and our understanding of social change.
