Jean-Sébastien Guy is a sociologist interested in sociological theory in general, whether classical (Durkheim, Marx, Simmel, Weber) or contemporary (Bourdieu, Foucault, Giddens, Luhmann) or anything in between (Garfinkel, Goffman, Lévi-Strauss, Parsons) or even off to the side (Deleuze, Wittgenstein). Rather than studying theory through an author’s life or context, Dr. Guy approaches theory as revolving around a set of abstract problems, including central oppositions like individual/society, micro/macro, structure/agency, continuity/change, order/disorder, modernity/tradition, power/freedom, and so on
