According to some social theorists, we are �at the end of the social�. This book argues that such pronouncements may be premature, as we need to reengage with what sociologists have previously meant by �the social�. �Rethinking the Social� is the first book to systematically analyse the different concepts of the social developed by Durkheim, Marx and Weber. It examines how the concept of the social became unproblematic for twentieth-century writers and suggests that debates surrounding this concept remain very much alive. Building on A. N. Whitehead�s work, Halewood develops a novel �philosophy of the social�.
