Kilka słów o wykładzie od Profesora Piotra Sztompki:

The author surveys the recent trends in the area of sociological theory. He claims that there is a radical shift in the focus of theories after the year 2000, with once fashionable schools falling into oblivion (e.g. postmodernism, constructivism, fluid modernity). But the claim that there is the “death of theory” and the rule of “new empiricism” is misguided. In the first decades of this century there are new, emerging theoretical schools which gain considerable attention. They propose new epistemologies, e.g. explanation by mechanism rather than covering laws, relationism in place of holism as well as methodological individualism. There is also a marked shift of substantive focus toward the level of microsociology, with the meticulous analysis of interactions and interpersonal relationships. The author illustrates these tendencies with the brief account of six theories by current prominent authors, three American and three European: J. Alexander, R. Collins, J. Turner, A. Honneth, U. Beck and P. Hedstrom.
