An outstanding feature of recent developments in social and political thought consists in practical and theoretical improvements in our understanding across disciplines. Concomitant with this trend towards the creative trespassing of disciplinary boundries is the revival of interest in the work of those social and political thinkers who launched the modern idea of social science.The collection of essays in this work, whether historical or analytical in emphasis, address the theoretical issues that are of contemporary concern in several of the recognized social scientific disciplines. The contributors to this book draw from the works of Adam Smith, Alexis de Tocqueville, John Stuart Mill, Karl Marx, Max Weber, Emile Durkheim, and Sigmund Freud--figures who emerge as the bearers of a well-defined classical legacy applicable to current analysis.
