Description
Gabriel Tarde's thought continues to offer a unique perspective on the social world. This new introduction highlights the relevance and novelty of his ideas, which were initially met with difficulty but are now increasingly akin to our own understanding. Tarde's work provides a framework for understanding various social phenomena, including social networks, public opinion, innovation, diffusion, virality, and virtuality. The author clarifies and elaborates on Tarde's central theses about the multiple, differential, infinitesimal, and infinite nature of both the social and subjective aspects. This book will appeal to scholars and students of social sciences and social theory interested in contemporary social thought.
