What is The Constitution of Society : Outline of the Theory of Structuration about?

<p>Anthony Giddens has been in the forefront of developments in social theory for the past decade.<br> In <i>The Constitution of Society</i> he outlines the distinctive position he has evolved during that period and offers a full statement of a major new perspective in social thought, a synthesis and elaboration of ideas touched on in previous works but described here for the first time in an integrated and comprehensive form. A particular feature is Giddens's concern to connect abstract problems of theory to an interpretation of the nature of empirical method in the social sciences.<br> In presenting his own ideas, Giddens mounts a critical attack on some of the more orthodox sociological views. <i>The Constitution of Society</i> is an invaluable reference book for all those concerned with the basic issues in contemporary social theory.</p>
