- Reviews sociological theory from a contemporary perspective
- Reveals how the universal theorist and the era of rival schools has been replaced by networks of clustered debates that are relatively 'autonomous' and interdisciplinary

- Challenges social scientists to renew their commitment to the important moral and political role social knowledge plays in public life
