A critique of modern sociological theory, this brilliant new work rather than announcing the twilight of man accepts the event both as an intellectual concluÂsion and an empirical fact, and proceeds systematically to examine the alternaÂtives beyond the Weber-Durkheim-ParÂsons episteme.
Â
Addressing himself to the issues of pluralism in sociological theory, Lemert rigorously examines representative writings of important theorists in America and Europe, including the writings of Homans (Lexical ExplanaÂtion), Blalock (Theory ConstructionÂism), Parsons (Analytic Realism), Blumer (Symbolic Interactionism), Schutz, Berger, Luckmann (PhenomenÂology), Cicourel (Ethnomethology), and Habermas (Critical Theory). Lemert challenges the celebrated pluralism hyÂpothesis in his argument that recent sociological theory is not so pluralistic after all and has not made particular use of available styles of thinking.

Sociology and the Twilight of Man is an important contribution to the modern sociological enterprise for several reaÂsons. First, it raises basic questions about the progress made beyond earlier theoretical writings. Second, it quesÂtions the explanatory force of current theories. Third, it questions whether contemporary theory can continue to develop in a meaningful way without a profound reexamination of its assumpÂtions and premises. And fourth, it demÂonstrates the value of discursive analysis to theoretical studies. Lemertâs critique could lead to fundamental revisions of sociologistsâ perception of their disciÂpline.
