This is a deviation from the common view that these traditions are seen as mutually exclusive alternatives and thus competitors of each other. The net result of the synthesis is that a new social theory emerges wherein action theories (Weber and rational choice) are based on phenomenological sociology and phenomenological sociology is based on neostructuralist semiotics, which is a synthesis of the Saussurean and the Peircean traditions of understanding habits of interpretation and interaction. The core issues of social research are then addressed on these grounds. The topics covered include the economy\/society relationship, power, gender, modernity, institutionalization, the canon of current social theory including micro\/macro and agency\/structure relations, and the grounds of social criticism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Risto Heiskala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030793699\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030793692\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.51d","brand":"Risto Heiskala","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44070265913599,"sku":"9783030793692","price":119.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_28c9eea5-60a8-42b4-957a-ce497b20539c.jpg?v=1685429340","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/semiotic-sociology-risto-heiskala-9783030793692","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
