The Idea of Community, Social Policy and Self

 

Kevin Loughran

 

Belfast:  APJ Publications, 2003.    xii, 214 p.  ISBN 0954362306.   £11.50

 

A book which could make you rethink your idea of community:

 

 

What Professor Donald Macaulay has called “this thought provoking and illuminating book” uses the natural sciences as well as the social sciences to examine the origins and nature of the idea of community.  The author discusses both helpful and unhelpful applications of the idea in relation to social policy.  This is not just a book for professionals, but for anyone who is interested in the origins and nature of co-operation, the idea of community, and how the idea is used.

 

“Few of us do not acknowledge the idea of community in some way or another, but often we acknowledge it by turning to the word community as a habit of expression.”   Introduction
