Theory Overview
Abstracts appear in Appendix A of the 7th Edition
Social life is a dynamic knot of contradictions, a ceaseless interplay between contradictory or opposing tendencies such as integration-separation, stability-change, and expression-nonexpression. Quality relationships are constituted through dialogue, which is an aesthetic accomplishment that produces fleeting moments of unity through a profound respect for the disparate voices. (Phenomenological tradition)
Hint: In addition to the alphabetical drop-down list above, you can also use the Table of Contents for the 7th edition to select a chapter or section of the book, or the Theory List for a listing by author.
