The Epistemological Background of Anthony Giddens’ Sociological Theory

Abstract

Anthony Giddens, who is the one of today’s major sociologists, has attempted to put forward a new theory to understand modern societies and their development, and aimed to reconstruct the sociological perspective with this effort. This study aims to examine the ideas behind Giddens’ reconciliatory ‘theory of structuration’, in other words, the intellectual heritage that he depends on. Therefore, this study firstly deals with Giddens’ intellectual relationship with structuralism and functionalism, which were continuation of positivism and set the course of sociology for a long time. After that, hermeneutics, which was put forward as a challenge to positivist, functionalist and structuralist trends, will be dealt in terms of its effects on Giddens’ work, focusing on A. Schutz, P. Winch and H. Garfinkel. The study will conclude with evaluations of the possibilities that theory of structuration, which Giddens blended with significant concepts of these two traditions, offers to contemporary sociology
