Paperback / 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

Paperback / softback. New. The Social Brain: Sociological Foundations introduces the concept of the social brain including a detailed conceptual model of the social brain networked in the world. The idea that our brains are social has its roots in nineteenth-century social thought and primate research initiated in the 1950s. It was introduced into the neuroscience literature in 1990 as a challenge to the traditional view of the isolated bio-medical brain a view that still dominates the scientific media and public imaginations. Sal Restivo’s foundational thesis is that humans arrive on the evolutionary stage always already and everywhere social. We have social selves social brains and social genes. He argues the “I†is a grammatical illusion reflecting the myth of individualism. The unique feature of this book is the amount of space devoted to constructing the sociological scaffolding needed to understand what the author means by the social self the social mind and the social brain. The approach leads to new ways of thinking about socialization consciousness and creativity as networked phenomena. The result is a novel way of integrating the social self the biological self and the neurological self and erasing the classical boundaries between brain mind and body. paperback
