Conclusion

from social theory to sociology

Martin Albrow

pp. 271-289

If we use the term 'social theory" to refer to any connected series of propositions which represent reflection upon the relations of individuals to society or upon the nature of the social, then it can be applied to doctrines which have arisen in different millennia in widely separated parts of the globe.
