  Social Theory - Key Ideas and...

  Social theory provides a framework for understanding how societies function, how individuals interact, and how social structures shape human behavior. It encompasses a wide range of perspectives that seek to explain social order, change, and the relationships between individuals and institutions. By analyzing patterns in human behavior, power dynamics, and cultural influences, social theory helps us interpret the complexities of the modern world. Sociologists use these theories to examine issues such as inequality, globalization, identity, and technological change, offering insights that inform public policy, activism, and everyday life. 
  The origins of social theory can be traced back to early philosophical inquiries about society, morality, and governance. Thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Confucius considered questions about justice, social order, and the ideal state. However, modern social theory emerged during the 19th and early 20th centuries in response to major social transformations such as industrialization, urbanization, and political revolutions. Pioneering sociologists, including Karl Marx, Emile Durkheim, and Max Weber, developed foundational theories to explain the impact of these changes on social life. Their work laid the groundwork for various theoretical traditions that continue to shape sociological inquiry today. 
  Social theories can be broadly categorized into macro and micro perspectives. Macro-level theories, such as structural functionalism and conflict theory, focus on large-scale social structures and institutions. These perspectives analyze how societies maintain stability, how power is distributed, and how systemic inequalities emerge. Micro-level theories, such as symbolic interactionism, examine individual interactions and the meanings people attach to their experiences. These approaches emphasize the role of language, symbols, and everyday social interactions in shaping identity and behavior.

  The Case of Emily V

  "Part diary, part scientific journal, part detective story, part love story: The Case of Emily V is thoroughly post-modern in its deliberate blurring of the distinction between fact and fiction, its cavalier blending of literary genres. But Oatley's first novel … also resembles old 19th-century literature. His characters are dynamic, his storylines complex and suspenseful, his soial commentary broad and integral to the plot." - Marie Campbell, Quill& Quire Quotables

  Why Did That Happen? - Aristotle...

  Why Did That Happen? Aristotle Has Four Answers and None of Them Are Helpful is your brutally sarcastic, surprisingly educational crash course in Aristotelian philosophy—specifically his theory of causality, aka why things happen according to a man who thought everything, including acorns and chairs, had a spiritual destiny. 
  In this delightfully vicious breakdown of Aristotle’s metaphysics, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) drags you through the Four Causes—material, formal, efficient, and final—with all the reverence of a philosopher who’s had enough. Whether it’s trees yearning to be trees, tables having identity crises, or humans trying to find meaning while simultaneously sabotaging themselves, this book dissects Aristotle’s ancient framework with modern sarcasm and a side of existential dread. 
  Inside, you’ll get: 
  A roast of Aristotle’s greatest hits: substance, essence, and metaphysical overkill 
  Why your coffee mug apparently has purpose and moral character 
  How causality shows up in nature, ethics, AI, and your inability to commit 
  A final cause that dares to ask if you have one (spoiler: Aristotle thinks you should) 
  And a walk through the philosophical ruins of teleology, where purpose and pretension meet 
  Perfect for philosophy students, intellectual masochists, or anyone who’s ever asked “Why did that happen?” and gotten four wildly overcomplicated answers in response. 
  This is not your professor’s Aristotle. This is Aristotle, but make it bearable
