- Synopsis
- Toward a General Theory of Action is an extremely ambitious formulation of the ingredients, dimensions, and ranges that determine human behavior. Parsons and Shils enunciate principles that are at the core of contemporary social science preoccupations--including the precarious balance between social integration and conflict. The volume is one of the most notable sociological theorists of the century, symbolizing the interdisciplinary impulse that typified a widespread belief in the unity of the sciences.
