Signs, Solidarities, & Sociology

A very learned book, weaving together themes from many literatures, and must represent decades of reading and reflection. (Sobrinho) makes a valuable contribution in showing the congruence between Peirce's 'scientific realism' and Durkheim's social processes of moral and cognitive solidarity. -- Randall Collins, Department of Sociology, University of Pennsylvania Signs, Solidarities, and Sociology is an insightful and multiply informed book that reflects much reading and much thought. -- Nicholas Rescher, University of Pittsburgh Sobrinho's commentary on contemporary social thought is wide-ranging and eclectic, yet informed by a coherent and original perspective. This is the best new book on social theory to have come my way in a long time. -- Professor Adam Kuper, Department of Social Sciences/Social Anthropology Group Brunel University, Uxbridge, United Kingdom
