By: Material type: TextTextPublication details: New York; Alfred A. Knopf; 1961Description: 546pSubject(s): DDC classification:
  • 301 SOC
Summary: The materials of this volume have been arranged into parts and chapters according to major theoretical problems. Thus, the central five parts of the book deal with (a) the person as a social unit, or the problems of socialization and transmission of social patterns through the generations; (b) social forms and processes, or generalizations which can be made about social behavior at the highest levels of abstraction; (c) societal structures, or manifestations of crystallized patterns and regularities in society; (d) the persistence of social structures, or the ways in which society maintains itself and its identity; and (e), social change, or the way in which society evolves through time. Obviously, even as stated in these broad terms, we would expect the parts to overlap. Our arrangement is not intended to confine the rich contributions contained in this collection to a limited conceptual structure. Rather,it should be viewed as one of convenience which grew out of the materials. We have accordingly written short introductions for the parts, and within these, let the sociologists speak for themselves.
