Community, A Sociological Study: Being An Attempt To Set Out The Nature And Fundamental Laws Of Social Life
First published in 1917, this work seeks to be an introduction to the concept of community, the term which best expresses the object which social science as such endeavours to study; it is in community, the common life, that the interests represented by the specific social sciences are bound together, made integral, and thus amenable to a more comprehensive science. Community, A Sociological Study, includes an examination on the false perspective…

Some Reflections on Sociology During a Crisis
W HEN a storm shakes the house, we grow concerned for the foundations. When a crisis challenges our routines, we are forced to think back to the values on which they rest. We may cling to these values more tenaciously or we may break loose from them. In any event, we must revaluate. This holds for our intellectual values no less than for the rest. Our scholarship, our learning, our research, how do they look against the background of a time when …

The Imputation of Motives
All causal imputation is inferential, but the imputation of motives is an inference of a peculiar kind and subject to peculiar difficulties. Consequently there are those who regard it as a wholly uscientific procedure. Sometimes they claim that the language of "motives and goals" is itself unscientific, but this is a dogmatic and metaphysical limitation of the realm of science. More plausibly they claim that since motives are baffling and unverif…

Gestalt" and Case Study. III. Is Statistical Methodology Applicable to the Study of the "Situation
I CAN best express my views on Mrs. Sheffield's paper by relating it to comments made by Professor Rice. There is, I feel, a certain opposition between scientific viewpoint of Professor Rice and that set forth by Mrs. Sheffield. Professor Rice contended that for scientific treatment, it is necessary to divide a situation into its units, since it is these units, and they alone, that are capable of statistical and other scientific manipulation.
