Abstract:
People inescapably are shaped by the culture in which they live, while culture itself is made and remade by people. Human beings in their daily lives feel a genuine freedom of thought and belief, yet this is unavoidably constrained by cultural limitations -- such as those by language spoken, the knowledge developed and the information available at any time. This is a revised edition and a seminal contribution to social theory and the case for the role of culture in sociological thought. Described as a timely and sophisticated treatment, the book shows that the problems of culture and agency and structure and agency could be solved using the same analytical framework.
