Synopsis
The main lines of social theory wherever influenced by Comte and Durkheim, or Marx and Weber, are variation on a common theme established by the Saint-Simonians in 1815-30, contends Gane. On this foundation he builds a new assessment of French social theory as it has developed over the past two centuries and bequeathed to the present such terms as existentialism, structuralism, positivism, and postmodernism.
