| book description |
Daniel Bell is one of the most famous sociologists of his generation. He has been hailed as the prophet of the emergence of a new society, the post-industrial society, and as one of the leading conservative critics of contemporary culture. In this text, the author opens with a discussion of Bell's biography, his intellectual interests and associates, political affiliations and value commitments. Bell's conceptual and theoretical innovation is analyzed and situated in relation to other theoretical tendencies within the field of sociological enquiry. The book then follows Bell's intellectual trajectory from an early engagement with questions of work, the labour movement and American capitalism, through to more detailed discussions of his political extremism, the new post-industrial society and the disintegration of culture associated with postmodernism. The three books that have made Bell famous, ""The End of Ideology"", ""The Coming of Post-Industrial Society"" and ""The Cultural Contradictions of Capitalism"" are drawn upon, as well as his lesser-known works on education and social forecasting.
