Categorization and the Moral Order (Routledge Revivals)

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

First published in 1984, this is a study of categorization practices: how people categorize each other and their actions; how they describe, infer, and judge. The book presents a sociological analysis and description of practical activities and makes a cogent contribution to the study of how the moral order actually works in practical communicative contexts.
