{"product_id":"alvin-w-gouldner-paperback-softback","title":"Alvin W.Gouldner - Paperback \/ softback","description":"\u003cp\u003ePublished in 1999, this book is an exploration of the life and work of American sociologist Alvin W. Gouldner. Gouldner's life and contribution to legal theory is a case study in the limits of critical, self-reflexive inquiry. Hegel's dialect is a major theme running throughout Gouldner's work, and, even throughout his life, Gouldner himself seemed trapped in the unfolding of the spirit through three distinct stages: 1945-1960 - thesis; 1960-1970 - antithesis; and 1970-1980 - synthesis or new thesis. Implications for creating a reflexive critical sociology in Gouldner's image are discussed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45564355772654,"sku":"9781138314870","price":55.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781138314870_41a605f9-aa82-412a-9d3e-d4072c3ad201.jpg?v=1720667620","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/alvin-w-gouldner-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
