Sociology

Is myth in your opinion an inevitable part of contemporary social theory?
[Using a theoretical orientation(s) of your choice comment on the following statement by

Jeffrey Alexander:

“It is precisely this sense of the instability…of the world, that introduces myth into social

theory. . .Every historical period needs a narrative that defines its past in terms of the present,

and suggests a future that is fundamentally different, and typically ‘even better,’ than
contemporary time. For this reason there ‘is always an eschatology, not merely an
epistemology, in theorizing about social change.” (Alexander, J .C. 1995. Modern, Anti, Post, and

N60: How Intellectuals Have Coded, Narrated, and Explained the ‘New World of Our Time.’ In:

J .C.Alexander, Fin de Siecle Social Theory: Relativism, Reduction, and the Problem of Reason,
