Theory constitutes a pivotal element in the study of sociology. With this significance in mind, the present edited volume sheds light on the emergence and evolution of sociological theory in its introductory sections; subsequent chapters delve into various theoretical perspectives—ranging from functionalist and interactionist theories to postmodern theory. Needless to say, tracing the trajectory from the era of classical theory to the gradual transition toward postmodern theory will serve to delineate the developmental path of theory within the discipline of sociology. This volume is certain to be well-received by both undergraduate and postgraduate students of sociology.
