Readings from important classical and contemporary theorists are placed in conversation with one another through core themes--the puzzle of social order, the dark side of modernity, identity, etc. The website includes videos, interactive commentaries, summaries of key concepts, exams and quizzes, annotated selections from key readings, classroom activities, and more.
