Abstract: One of the biggest dilemmas of social sciences is dualities like ‘structure-agency’ or ‘individual–society’. Therefore, more and more researchers have been trying to constitute a holistic theory which synthesises all these dualities. One of the most significant one of these figures is Anthony Giddens. With The Theory of Structuration, Giddens tries to handle the contributions of the both sides of the dilemma to the theory with their sui generis complementary parts. Purpose of this study is to prepare a suitable ground for a better understanding of this alternative perspective towards the dualism problem
