Talcott Parsons

"This book consists of the first written transcription of a videotaped seminar held at Brown University on March 10, 1973. The focus of the seminar was Talcott Parsons himself who traveled down from Harvard University to answer questions about his own intellectual development and his essential ideas. Parsons responded extemporaneously to questions from a panel of distinguished social scientists, historians and philosophers" -- [x].
