In response to this ?ecological blindness,? Raymond Murphy examines the limitations of sociology that have resulted from this neglect.Humanity's success in manipulating nature destabilizes the natural support system of society on a planetary scale and, in turn, destabilizes all of society's institutions. Because the manipulation of nature has become so central to modern society, society, Murphy argues, can now be understood only in terms of the interaction between social action and the processes of nature. The growing awareness that social constructions unleash dynamic processes of nature?processes beyond human control that bear on social action?has the potential of radically transforming sociology. Sociology and Nature proposes the reconstruction of sociology in which nature does matters, developing a novel sociological approach that situates social action in its natural context. 606 $aHuman ecology 606 $aSociology$xPhilosophy 606 $aEnvironmentalism 606 $aHuman ecology$xPhilosophy 606 $aSociology 606 $aEnvironmentalism 606 $aSociology & Social History$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Sciences$2HILCC 606 $aSocial Change$2HILCC 608 $aElectronic books 615 0$aHuman ecology. 615 0$aSociology$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aEnvironmentalism. 615 0$aHuman ecology$xPhilosophy 615 0$aSociology 615 0$aEnvironmentalism 615 7$aSociology & Social History 615 7$aSocial Sciences 615 7$aSocial Change 676 $a304.2 700 $aMurphy$b Raymond$0102325 801 0$bFlBoTFG 801 1$bFlBoTFG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996214186303316 996 $aSociology And Nature$91965170 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
