A9781394362561Paperback / softback. New. <p><b>Presents </b><b>a powerful narrative that situates the individual within the inescapable framework of social forces</b> </p><p>In a world increasingly defined by inequality and existential threats<i> Sociological Realism: Society as the Walls of Our Imprisonment</i> offers a bold reinterpretation of society’s role in shaping the individual. Beginning with the premise that society is a reality <i>sui generis</i>—a unique and formative system—Sal Restivo carefully constructs an argument about how institutions cultural traditions and historical processes shape our identities behaviours and beliefs. Tracing the development of the sociological imagination from antiquity to the present day the author introduces foundational thinkers whilst anchoring abstract theory in personal narrative and lived experience. </p><p>This distinctive volume—part introductory sociology part sociobiography—confronts dominant ideas about free will agency and the autonomous self. Engaging with contemporary issues including class race sex gender and mortality the book explores the metaphorical â€walls†that constrain human potential. It also considers possible â€escape tunnels†as suggested by sociologists such as Peter Berger and Erving Goffman. Through original theories—such as the social construction of the brain the logic of power and free will and a social-network approach to creativity—<i> Sociological Realism</i> challenges the myth of individualism and portrays the self as a socially embedded phenomenon. Restivo’s own reflections act as a vivid case study in sociological imagination enriching the text with immediacy and authenticity. </p><p>Challenging readers to reconceptualise the boundaries between mind self and society <i>Sociological Realism: Society as the Walls of Our Imprisonment:</i> </p><ul><li>Offers a unique blend of personal memoir and academic reflection to stimulate sociological imagination</li><li>Provides a concise yet comprehensive history of sociological thought from antiquity to the present</li><li>Presents original theories on the social construction of the brain and creativity</li><li>Applies sociological analysis to contemporary topics such as sex gender race and mortality</li><li>Integrates classic and contemporary sociological texts through brief accessible excerpts</li></ul> <p><i>Sociological Realism: Society as the Walls of Our Imprisonment</i> is suitable for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying sociology behavioural science social psychology or social work. It is an ideal core or supplementary text for courses such as Introduction to Sociology Social Theory or Behavioural Science and fits into degree programmes across the social sciences. It also speaks to general readers seeking insight into how society shapes thought action and identity in a rapidly changing world.</p> paperback
