At the heart of this Handbook's vision is the twin goals of making theory a viable enterprise by re-conceptualizing how we teach theory.and keeping theory closely tied to its empirical applications. Three strategies are offered: (1) Elucidating how classic issues are interrogated today; (2) Presenting a coherent vision of the social levels of reality that theorists work on and, (3) Theorizing the social world rather than celebrating theorists or theories.
