This is an effort to offer a readable and coherent introduction to the often self consciously unreadable and incoherent body of work known as postmodern social theory. It is designed to be an introduction to the fundamental ideas and, most crucial thinker, associated with this perspective. This also involves an attempt to look at this body of theory from the vantage point of the field of sociology. While some postmodern social theorists are sociologists, most are not. Indeed, one dining characteristic of postmodern social theory is that it is interdisciplinary. It is certainly possible to look at this theory from a sociological vantage point, but it is also possible to look at it from the point of view of many other fields. This book will constitute only one of many possible readings of postmodern social theory. Through the book, especially in Chapters 10 and 11, we will see that postmodern social theory is of great relevance to sociology.
