The concept of the social group, the nucleus of sociological speculation, is to be associated with the French Revolution rather than with ideas current during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. During the Revolution the church as a separate social organization was demolished and the family underwent modification, while the state triumphed at their expense. Auguste Comte was impressed by the atomization of society resulting from the disruption of these primary ties uniting men in nonpolitical society. He sought to reinstate the social group in social thought. The responsibility of sociology in the post-war world will be to rehabilitate and make meaningful these primary ties and other lesser social layalties
