A central question of social theory is: How do society's objective features influence its members to reproduce or transform society through their acti ons? This volume examines how objective social conditioning is mediated by the subjective reflexivity of individuals. On the basis of a series of in-d epth interviews, Margaret Archer identifies the mediatory mechanism as "int ernal conversations" that are expressed in forms governing agents' response s to social conditioning, their individual patterns of social mobility, and whether or not they contribute to social stability or change. Editorial Reviews '... a richly rewarding book ... Archer has given us, again, a good number of ideas to think with and about.' Journal of Critical Realism - From the Publisher.
