Never before published, American Society is the product of Talcott Parsons'' last major theoretical project. Completed just a few weeks before his death, this is Parsons'' promised ''general book on American society''. It offers a systematic presentation and revision of Parson''s landmark theoretical positions on modernity and the possibility of objective sociological knowledge. Even after the passage of many years, American Society imparts a remarkably provocative interpretation of US society and a creative approach to social theory.

Industry Reviews

"This book demonstrates how Parsons attempted to develop a framework applicable to concrete situations. ... [American Society] helps remind readers how Parsonian structural functional can be used to illuminate how social crisis can be overcome. Recommended."
