Lewis Coser is critical of the view that conflict is dysfunctional and works to demonstrate its inadequacies. In a series of basic propositions distilled primarily from the theories of Georg Simmel, Coser clarifies the function of social conflict. Beyond this, Functions of Social Conflicts extends these propositions and relates them to psychoanalysis and empirical research theories.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 214mmItem Length: 140mmItem Width: 15mmItem Weight: 209gAuthor: Lewis A.
