書籍簡介

這是一本書的新修訂版，該書已成為社會理論的基礎教材。本書的第一部分對社會哲學中的一些主要思想流派進行了簡明的批判性分析，特別關注現象學、民族方法學和維特根斯坦的思想。吉登斯主要關注這些不同觀點對人類行為及其可理解性的解釋的含義。然而，單獨的“行動方法”是行不通的。在人類社會生活中，行動和結構相互預設。因此，作者繼續提供一系列與理解社會的生產和再生產相關的概念。這本書以對一些“社會學方法的新規則”的簡潔陳述結束。

作為對結構化理論原則的第一次也是最清晰的闡述，這個版本還包含一個實質性的新導論，其中吉登斯回答了對原始版本提出的一些更持久的批評，並解決了一些最初只討論過的重要問題一種粗略的方式。

This is a new and revised edition of a book which has established itself as a basic text in social theory. The first section of the work provides a concise critical analysis of some leading schools of thought in social philosophy, giving particular attention to phenomenology, ethnomethodology, and Wittgensteinian thought. Giddens concentrates primarily upon the implications of these various perspectives for an account of human action and its intelligibility. An 'action approach' on its own, however, will not do; in human social life, action and structure presuppose one another. The author therefore moves on to provide a series of concepts relevant to understanding the production and reproduction of society. The book concludes with a succinct statement of some 'new rules of sociological method.'

Representing the first, and most trenchant, exposition of the principles of structuration theory, this edition also contains a substantial new Introduction in which Giddens replies to some of the more persistent criticisms made of the original version and also addresses some important issues originally discussed only in a cursory way.

作者簡介

安東尼·吉登斯，吉登斯男爵GCIH MAE(生於1938年1月18日)，英國社會學家，以其結構理論和現代社會整體觀而聞名。 他被認為是傑出的現代社會學家之一，是至少34本書的作者，以至少29種語言出版，平均每年發行一本書以上。 2007年，吉登斯被列為人文學科書籍引用次數第五多的作者。 他在世界各地大約20所不同的大學擔任學術職務，並獲得了許多榮譽學位。  

在他的學術生涯中，有四個值得注意的階段。 第一個涉及概述社會學是什麼的新視野，提出了一個理論和方法上的理解，該領域的基礎上，對經典的批判重新解釋。 他的主要著作包括《資本主義與現代社會理論》(1971)和《先進社會的階級結構》(1973)。 在第二階段，吉登斯發展了結構理論，分析了能動性和結構，其中任何一方都不佔優勢。 《社會學方法新規則》(1976)、《社會理論中心問題》(1979)和《社會構成》(1984)等著作使他在社會學領域享有國際聲譽。 吉登斯學術工作的第三階段關注現代性、全球化和政治，特別是現代性對社會和個人生活的影響。 這一階段反映在他對後現代性的批判和對政治中新的“烏托邦-現實主義”第三條道路的討論中，可見於《現代性的後果》(1990)、《現代性與自我認同》(1991)、《親密關係的轉變》(1992)、《超越左與右》(1994)和《第三條道路》(1998)。 吉登斯的抱負既在於重塑社會理論，又在於重新審視我們對現代性發展和軌跡的理解。  

在最近的階段，吉登斯將他的注意力轉向了與世界社會進化相關的更具體的一系列問題，即環境問題，尤其關注關於氣候變化的辯論，在他的《氣候變化的政治》(2009)的連續版本中進行了分析; 《動盪與強大的大陸》(動盪與強大的大陸)中歐盟的角色和性質(2014); 在一系列的講座和演講中也談到了數字革命的本質和後果。  

吉登斯從1997年到2003年擔任倫敦經濟學院院長，他現在是該學院社會學系的名譽教授。 他是劍橋大學國王學院的終身院士  

Anthony Giddens, Baron Giddens GCIH MAE (born 18 January 1938) is an English sociologist who is known for his theory of structuration and his holistic view of modern societies. He is considered to be one of the most prominent modern sociologists and is the author of at least 34 books, published in at least 29 languages, issuing on average more than one book every year. In 2007, Giddens was listed as the fifth most-referenced author of books in the humanities. He has academic appointments in approximately twenty different universities throughout the world and has received numerous honorary degrees.

Four notable stages can be identified in his academic life. The first one involved outlining a new vision of what sociology is, presenting a theoretical and methodological understanding of that field based on a critical reinterpretation of the classics. His major publications of that era include Capitalism and Modern Social Theory (1971) and The Class Structure of the Advanced Societies (1973). In the second stage, Giddens developed the theory of structuration, an analysis of agency and structure in which primacy is granted to neither. His works of that period, such as New Rules of Sociological Method (1976), Central Problems in Social Theory (1979) and The Constitution of Society (1984), brought him international fame on the sociological arena. The third stage of Giddens's academic work was concerned with modernity, globalisation and politics, especially the impact of modernity on social and personal life. This stage is reflected by his critique of postmodernity and discussions of a new "utopian-realist" Third Way in politics which is visible in The Consequences of Modernity (1990), Modernity and Self-Identity (1991), The Transformation of Intimacy (1992), Beyond Left and Right (1994) and The Third Way (1998). Giddens' ambition was both to recast social theory and to re-examine our understanding of the development and trajectory of modernity.

In the most recent stage, Giddens has turned his attention to a more concrete range of problems relevant to the evolution of world society, namely environmental issues, focussing especially upon debates about climate change, analysed in successive editions of his book The Politics of Climate Change (2009); the role and nature of the European Union in Turbulent and Mighty Continent (2014); and in a series of lectures and speeches also the nature and consequences of the Digital Revolution.

Giddens served as Director of the London School of Economics from 1997 to 2003, where he is now Emeritus Professor at the Department of Sociology. He is a life fellow of King's College, Cambridge
