Reviews
'The concept of 'social pathology' seems to be both indispensable to critical social theory and at the same time fraught with problems, as it may invoke illegitimately organicist, conservative conceptions of society. In this path-breaking new book, Frederick Neuhouser, with characteristic philosophical depth and rigor, provides the most potent analysis and defense of the legitimacy of the concept in social theory yet to have appeared.' Arash Abazari, Sharif University of Technology, 'This highly theoretical work will interest students and scholars of social philosophy, social theory, and the history of social thought. ... Highly recommended.' A. J. Trevino, Choice

Synopsis
Can a human society suffer from illness like a living thing? And if so, how does such a malaise manifest itself? This thought-provoking book masterfully reveals what is at stake in describing societies as 'ill' and why we are drawn to conceive of many social problems as illnesses., Can a human society suffer from illness like a living thing? And if so, how does such a malaise manifest itself? In this thought-provoking book, Fred Neuhouser explains and defends the idea of social pathology, demonstrating what it means to describe societies as 'ill', or 'sick', and why we are so often drawn to conceiving of social problems as ailments or maladies. He shows how Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, and Durkheim - four key philosophers who are seldom taken to constitute a 'tradition' - deploy the idea of social pathology in comparable ways, and then explores the connections between societal illnesses and the phenomena those thinkers made famous: alienation, anomie, ideology, and social dysfunction. His book is a rich and compelling illumination of both the idea of social disease and the importance it has had, and continues to have, for philosophical views of society.
