TY - GEN T1 - The sociology of Anthony Giddens A1 - Loyal, Steven LA - English PP - London ; Sterling, Virginia PB - Pluto Press YR - 2003 UL - https://ebooks.jgu.edu.in/Record/jstor_eba_ocm53981931 AB - "Anthony Giddens is one of the most famous and influential sociologists of recent decades. Largely credited with the concept of the "Third Way", he continues to be a key advisor to Tony Blair ... This original and controversial book provides an excellent introduction to Giddens' work, covering the wide range of his writing from theory to self-reflexivity, modernity and politics, placing them all within the illuminating framework of a historical context. Steven Loyal argues that Giddens' writing has always embodied a political and ethical position, one that has changed considerably over the years and is best understood through the social context in which it was written. Providing a comprehensive overview of Giddens' writing, Loyal explores the many tensions and failures in Giddens' theory and argues that, overall, his work is fundamentally flawed."--Book cover OP - 243 CN - HM479.G54 L69 2003eb SN - 9781849641128 SN - 1849641129 SN - 9780585488837 SN - 0585488835 SN - 0745317812 SN - 9780745317816 SN - 0745317804 SN - 9780745317809 KW - Giddens, Anthony.
