ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book describes the some critical points of the relationist theories highlighted by Margaret Archer. She notes that there are varieties of relational social theory. Archer responds to the limitations and shortcomings of many of these theories on the basis of what she wrote along with Pierpaolo Donati in the book The Relational Subject. Archer recommends looking at the existing relational sociologies based on some critical points, which constitute, in some way, the common thread of the whole preface. Faced with the various current semantics of what the word “relational” can mean, the book offers a view that frees it from all the purely pragmatist, materialist, idealist, transactional, and interactionist interpretations.
