Abstract
The importance of this book must not be underestimated. Its central achievement is to put on the agenda a concept of social praxis which is radically separate from theorisations of either the subjectivity of individual actors on the one hand or a structure of transcendental social objects on the other. That this is a critical step for sociological theory is undeniable. That it can be achieved by welding hegelian Marxism with an idiosyncratically alinguistic reading of wittgenstein is open to further consideration.
