Through an investigation of four key thinkers (Georg Luk當s, Hannah Arendt, Reinhart Koselleck and J?gen Habermas), Gilbert argues that scholars in the social sciences and humanities should be cautious of treating crises as explananda for research. Instead, the book calls for sociological analysis of the role of \"crisis\" within social scientific discourse, and examines how \"crisis\" has been used as a conceptual frame for legitimating theoretical agendas. Gilbert's \"sociology of concepts\" approach presents crisis as a paradigm of modern thought, and, more generally, reflects on how concepts can become the carriers of diverse intellectual traditions and debates. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Crisis Paradigm \u003c\/i\u003ewill be of interest to students and scholars of social and critical theory, politics, sociology and history, as well as those working in the fields of media studies, communication and discourse analysis. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Simon Gilbert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030110591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030110598\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.63d","brand":"Andrew Simon Gilbert","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45265103618303,"sku":"9783030110598","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9cb0725e-5138-490c-af50-351b31bb0c35.jpg?v=1713420160","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-crisis-paradigm-andrew-simon-gilbert-9783030110598","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
