商品簡介
Contemporary social theorist Alain Touraine offers a more far-reaching hermeneutical dimension than either Giddens or Habermas, argues Ballantyne (sociology, Swinburne U. of Technology, Australia), but he undermines it by refusing to take up the project systematically. She develops a dialogue between him and Paul Ricoeur, one of the leading exponents of contemporary philosophical hermeneutics, in order to fill out the account.
