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. 606 $aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aConflict management 606 $aThought and thinking$xSocial aspects 615 0$aSocial sciences$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aConflict management. 615 0$aThought and thinking$xSocial aspects. 676 $a300.1 686 $aMQ 1200$qSEPA$2rvk 700 $a6$b Perri$f1960-$01515650 702 $aRichards$b Paul$f1945 May 14- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792950203321 996 $aMary Douglas$93751559 997 $aUNINA
