This volume introduces Douglas’s theories, and outlines the ways in which her work is of continuing importance for the future of the social sciences. Mary Douglas: Understanding Human Thought and Conflict shows how Douglas laid out the agenda for revitalizing social science by reworking Durkheim’s legacy for today, and reviews the growing body of research across the social sciences which has used, tested or developed her approach.Social sciencesPhilosophySocial structureConflict managementThought and thinkingSocial aspectsSocial sciencesPhilosophy.Social structure.Conflict management.Thought and thinkingSocial aspects.300.1MQ 1200SEPArvk6 Perri1960-1515650Richards Paul1945 May 14-MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792950203321Mary Douglas3751559UNINA
