Without blanching the caliginous canvas, I shift it to cast a glimmer of light on contemporary Japanese society. Lecture "The Consolation of Social Theory" URL: http://utokyo.ucberkeley.jp/en/news_and_events/lecture_lie4 Date: December 4, 2018 (Tue) 15:30-17:00 (15:00 Open) Venue: Room 549, Akamon General Research Building, Hongo Campus, University of Tokyo Abstract: Social theory was forged in the cauldron of eighteenth-century revolutions, but its metatheoretical casting was of earlier vintage: the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century. By reconsidering several metaphysical backdrops of social theory and the modern social sciences in light of twenty-first-century natural sciences, I seek to provide a renewed casting for contemporary social theory and social sciences.
