The Winding Passage: Sociological Essays and Journeys

Sprednja platnica
Transaction Publishers, 1. jan. 1991 - 370 strani
This collection brings together Daniel Bell's best work in essay form. It deals with a variety of topics: technology and culture, religion and personal identity, intellectuals and their societies, and the uses and abuses of doctrines of social class. The Winding Passage demonstrates the author's continuing concern with the salient issues of our times, while its inspiration draws upon an older, humanistic sociological tradition.
