{"product_id":"human-society-ragnar-stara-9789526950723","title":"Human Society: Social Theory: Wholes, Parts, and the Field of Toleration","description":"What is a society?\u003cbr\u003eAccording to sociologists and philosophers, the concept is a self-evident one. They describe society as an aggregate of people, as a society divided into classes or as a community - but also as an impossible object. Why is the answer so vague? There is a conceptual wall that stands in the way of a definition of society, at the same time as society must be defined inorder for the social sciences to be possible.\u003cbr\u003eThe book shows how society can be defined based on philosopher Uuno Saarnio's logical categories of the whole and the field of toleration, Leibniz's tolerantia ecclesiastica.Through this, it is also possible to describe the structure of society and man's action within society. This volume argues in favor of a reshaping of the social sciences.\u003cbr\u003eThe key issue is to elaborate the set theory of the phrase \"the whole is more than the sum of its parts\" in connection with the nation, the society and the social group concepts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ragnar Stara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9526950720\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789526950723\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Starabooks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/28\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.17lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.82d","brand":"Ragnar Stara","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48519905214719,"sku":"9789526950723","price":48.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7317e016-e74a-439f-b5db-9301260673eb.jpg?v=1778739537","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/human-society-ragnar-stara-9789526950723","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
