Anthony Giddens (1938- ) is a well known social theorist who developed the theory of Structuration. He observed what he called a Duality of structure, which he describes as "the essential recursiveness of social life, as constituted in social practices: structure is both medium & outcome of reproduction of practices. Structure enters simultaneously into the constitution of the agent & social practices, & 'exists' in the generating moments of this constitution."
