This course traces the development of social theory from the Enlightenment to the 21st century. Topics examined include the nature of science and other forms of knowledge, the relationship between self and society, how social order is maintained, how power is exercised, how meanings emerge, and how change occurs. Running through the course is the question of what social theory offers to us individually and collectively in understanding and acting in a world that is complex and multi-layered.
