In this remarkable collection of essays, Holton and Turner demonstrate that Parsonian sociology addresses the most central problems of our time ¿ issues of sickness and health, power and inequality, the nature of capitalism and its possible alternatives. They develop a mature and original perspective on Parsons as the only classical theorist who avoided crippling nostalgia. Holton and Turner not only talk about Parsonian sociology in a profound and insightful way, they do it, and do it well. As sociology moves away from the rigid dichotomies of earlier debate, this book will help point the way.' ¿ Jeffrey Alexander, Professor and Director of Graduate Studies in Sociology, UCLA
