We talk of social relations, social media, social networks, social factors, and so on, as well as 'the social'. But do we always know what we mean or what we are invoking when we deploy the term 'social'?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe concept of the 'social' has often been treated as almost self-explanatory, inherited from the works of the instigators of sociology and social theory who, it is assumed, all meant the same thing by the term. 'Rethinking the Social' argues that this is not the case, and that there are major differences between their approaches. This the first book to systematically analyse the different concepts of the social developed by Durkheim, Marx and Weber. It examines how the concept of the social became unproblematic for twentieth-century writers and suggests that debates surrounding this concept remain very much alive. Building on A. N. Whitehead's work, Halewood develops a novel 'philosophy of the social'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Halewood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1783083697\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783083695\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Anthem Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d","brand":"Michael Halewood","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979668652287,"sku":"9781783083695","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fd78f1cf-6753-40e2-89ec-6759a102dc15.jpg?v=1683246440","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/rethinking-the-social-through-durkheim-michael-halewood-9781783083695","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
