This volume offers a reappraisal of Parsons? work by leading social theorists, who place his writing at the centre of current controversies over modernity, postmodernity and globalization. The wide-ranging discussion encompasses Parsons? value commitments and his place in American social theory, the problems of interpreting his work today, his conception of world history, and the contemporary neofunctionalist movement.
Parsons? own work is represented by a previously neglected essay on American values that is central to an understanding of his analysis of modernization.
