The Sociogony: Social Facts and the Ontology of Objects, Things, and Monsters: Studies in Critical Social Sciences, cartea 128

Autor Mark P. Worrell
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 noi 2018
The Sociogony re-examines the social ontology of what Durkheim calls ‘social facts’ in the light of critical and progressive hostilities to the facticity of facts and the necessity of moral absolutes in the shift from bourgeois liberalism to a neoliberal global order. The introduction offers a wide-ranging rumination on the concept of the absolute after its apparent downfall; the chapter on facts turns the problem of external authority on its head and the chapter dealing with the sociogony situates facts in a process of generation, rule, and decay. Drawing heavily on the works of Hegel, Marx, Weber, and Durkheim, the resulting synthesis is what the author refers to as a Marxheimian Social Theory that offers a new map and a stable ontology for the homeless mind.

Recenzii

"Worrell’s ambitious book and his three-volume series is a welcome and important contribution to a sociological landscape that often seems far less visionary than the terrible times demand. Critical sociology of this sort promises a needed antidote." - Michael Strand, Brandeis University, in: International Sociology Reviews 35/2 (2020)
