This treatise will make available, to both the student and layman alike, a substantial amount of practical information concerning sociological theory. It is my hope that this work will inspire the reader to understand themselves sociologically. As to the content of this book, it will be constrained to four areas of interest: (1) social stratification, (2) its utilization, (3) the agency / structure debate, and (4) the difference between traditional theory and critical theory.
