Sociality: Social Rights and Human Welfare

This book develops a very particular concept of sociality: a holistic way of understanding how human beings have come to care about and collectively provide for their welfare as a species and to recognise each other’s needs in terms of shared social rights.

Hartley Dean is Emeritus Professor of Social Policy at the London School of Economics. He had for 12 years been a welfare rights worker in Brixton, South London, before moving on to a 40-year academic career researching, teaching and writing about social justice issues.
