He held appointments both at Chicago and Cambridge and was a crucial link between British and American intellectual life. This volume collects essays by distinguished contributors which deal with the major facets of Shils' thought, including his relations with Michael Polanyi, his parallels with Michael Oakeshott, his defense of the traditional university, his fundamental philosophical anthropology, and his important work on such topics as tradition, civility, and the nation. As an introduction to this complex and original thinker, it will be of interest to scholars and students in a number of fields, including sociology and social theory, but also to anyone interested in the intellectual life as it was lived in the mid-twentieth century, in the face of the Cold War and ideological struggle. 410 0$aManchester scholarship online. 606 $aSociologists$zUnited States 606 $aCivil society 606 $aSocial values 606 $aSociology$xPhilosophy 608 $aEssays. 608 $aElectronic books. 610 $aEdward Shils. 610 $aMichael Oakeshott. 610 $aMichael Polanyi. 610 $aSocial theory. 610 $aTradition. 610 $anations. 610 $aphilosophical anthropology. 610 $asociology. 615 0$aSociologists 615 0$aCivil society. 615 0$aSocial values. 615 0$aSociology$xPhilosophy. 676 $a301.01 702 $aTurner$b Stephen P.$f1951- 702 $aAdair-Toteff$b Christopher 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793594003321 996 $aThe calling of social thought$93745082 997 $aUNINA
