From Society to System
From Society to System presents an overview of sociologist Michel Freitag's (1935-2009) distinctive, multifaceted and interdisciplinary work. Such a perspective, which nevertheless remains realist, expands the borders within of sociology to rejoin classical philosophical preoccupations. Elaborated within the grand sociological tradition, his dialectical sociology redefines sociality as the realm of the symbolic to pinpoint its ontological frailty.
If Freitag revisits social ontology, he does so on the basis of a radical critique of contemporary society where not only life and planet earth is at stake as a result of capitalist developments but reflexivity as well.This collection of essays touches on a host of topics that have been of central concern for social theory since the end of the twentieth century: the sempiternal discussion about holism versus individualism
