Metaphysical Sociology

- On the Work of John Carroll

About Metaphysical Sociology

This volume critically engages with the work of the acclaimed sociologist John Carroll and makes the argument for a metaphysical sociology. Carroll has proposed that a metaphysical sociology should focus on the questions of fundamental existence that confront all humans ¿ questions of meaning, which, in the modern West, have become increasingly difficult to answer. Through consideration of a range of topics including, film, psychoanalysis, terrorism and everyday life, Metaphysical Sociology takes up the fundamental question of metaphysical sociology ¿ that of people¿s `ontological qualities¿ or inner resources and the means by which they might cultivate them in pursuit of meaning.
