سیاست، جامعهشناسی و نظریه اجتماعی
به گفتهٔ گیدنز جامعهشناسی نقشی کلیدی در فرهنگ فکری امروز بازی میکند و جایگاهی مرکزی در علوم اجتماعی دارد. همچنین تفکر جامعهشناسانه بیش از هر چیز به خودشناسی کمک میکند که بهنوبهٔ خود به شناخت بهتر ما از دنیای روابط اجتماعی یاری میرساند. جامعهشناسی نیروی اندیشه و تخیل ما را گسترش میدهد، چشماندازهای جدیدی را پیرامون سرچشمههای رفتارمان در برابر ما میگشاید و زمینهٔ درک فرهنگهای گوناگون و متفاوت با فرهنگ ما را فراهم میسازد. مطالعهٔ جامعهشناسی ما را به اندیشیدن وامیدارد و جامعهشناسی تا آنجا که با تفکر جزمی مبارزه میکند و آگاهی و بینش ژرفتری برای انسان فراهم میسازد امکانات آزادی انسان را افزایش میدهد.

About the author
Anthony Giddens
177 books433 followersAnthony Giddens, Baron Giddens (born 18 January 1938) is a British sociologist who is renowned for his theory of structuration and his holistic view of modern societies. He is considered to be one of the most prominent modern contributors in the field of sociology, the author of at least 34 books, published in at least 29 languages, issuing on average more than one book every year. In 2007, Giddens was listed as the fifth most-referenced author of books in the humanities.
Three notable stages can be identified in his academic life. The first one involved outlining a new vision of what sociology is, presenting a theoretical and methodological understanding of that field, based on a critical reinterpretation of the classics. His major publications of that era include Capitalism and Modern Social Theory (1971) and New Rules of Sociological Method (1976). In the second stage Giddens developed the theory of structuration, an analysis of agency and structure, in which primacy is granted to neither. His works of that period, such as Central Problems in Social Theory (1979) and The Constitution of Society (1984), brought him international fame on the sociological arena.
The most recent stage concerns modernity, globalization and politics, especially the impact of modernity on social and personal life. This stage is reflected by his critique of postmodernity, and discussions of a new "utopian-realist"[3] third way in politics, visible in the Consequence of Modernity (1990), Modernity and Self-Identity (1991), The Transformation of Intimacy (1992), Beyond Left and Right (1994) and The Third Way: The Renewal of Social Democracy (1998). Giddens' ambition is both to recast social theory and to re-examine our understanding of the development and trajectory of modernity.
Currently Giddens serves as Emeritus Professor at the London School of Economics.
