Structuration as Critical Theory
Structuration as Critical Theory

Summary/Abstract: Anthony Giddens is engaged in the ambitious project of developing a comprehensive textured social theory adequate for our time which at once incorporates the insights of the major social thinkers, rejects what is inadequate and mistaken, and can guide and illuminate empirical sociological research. It is this systematic project that the author wants to explore — a project that centers on what Giddens calls “The Theory of Structuration”, a theoretical approach that reconstructs the duality of structure and human agency. the authors wants to probe the relevance of the theory of structuration for understanding the critical functions of social theory.
