Consciousness And Society - Reorientation Of European Social Thought 1890-1930

Consciousness and Society: Reorientation of European Social Thought 1890-1930 by H. Stuart Hughes (Harvester Press, 1979) is a rich, ambitious exploration of how modern European thinkers grappled with a rapidly changing world. From Freud to Weber, Durkheim to Sorel, Hughes traces the shifting terrain of intellectual life as the 19th century gave way to the anxieties and upheavals of the 20th. With remarkable clarity, he captures the inward turn of social thought — toward subjectivity, culture, and the structures of consciousness — in an age of crisis and uncertainty.

This edition, published by Harvester Press, brings a classic of intellectual history back into circulation. It’s a must for readers fascinated by the intersection of psychology, sociology, and philosophy — or for those who just enjoy watching very clever people wrestle with the collapse of old certainties.

Sold with mild academic nostalgia and a whiff of shelf dust by Crappy Old Books — where the spine might be cracked, but the insights are still solid.

Condition fine. Hardly read, although there are a few creases in the spine like someone might have looked inside at some point.
