The Social Role of the Man of Knowledge
In this seminal contribution to the sociology of knowledge, first published in 1940, Florian Znaniecki develops a typology of the variety of specific social roles that scholars have played, and investigates the normative patterns that govern their behavior. A central tool for the investigation of these problems is the notion of “social circle”, the audience to which intellectuals address themselves. Znaniecki shows that thinkers do not speak to t…

Sociology and Theory of Knowledge
The Sociological Eye
This collection of selected papers by Everett C. Hughes, a foundational figure in Chicago School sociology, offers enduring insights into the field of occupational sociology and the study of professions.

El examen comparado de los sistemas cerrados que las varias ciencias especiales han de tratar muestra una diferencia fundamental entre dos tipos principales de ellos: el natural y el cultural. La diferencia concierne a la composicion y la estructura de los sistemas, asi como al caracter de los elementos y de las fuerzas que los mantienen unidos. Los rasgos distintivos no estan en modo alguno ocultos a la observacion, ni para ser descubiertos solo…

Basic Problems of Contemporary Sociology
THE problems which I am about to discuss are basic in the sense that the further development of sociology as a science and the possibility of its effective application to contemporary social problems depend on their solution. In surveying the studies in which the majority of American sociologists have recently been engaged, we notice certain predominant trends. First, a striving for methodical perfection, although the standards of perfection stil…

The Present and the Future of Sociology of Knowledge
Sociology of knowledge, from its very beginning, has been a controversial discipline 1 . The controversies in which it is involved are partly due to divergent conceptions of the function of sociology as a science, partly to conflicting epistemological theories of knowledge
European and American Sociology After Two World Wars
The suppression of sociology in Europe by adherents of several conflicting ideologies, indicates that sociology is practically important precisely because it is an objective science. The two world wars made social thinkers realize the growing interdependence between cultures manifested in the causal and functional relationships between diverse social groups. A study of such groups all over the world thus becomes the main function of sociology. Th…
Marriage Prediction in the Polish Peasant
Recent research does not bear out the prediction made by the authors of The Polish Peasant of great marital instability among the American Poles. It is suggested that their predictions failed to achieve greater accuracy because they did not seek statistical verification of the representativeness of their data where this was possible. Further, they oversimplified reality by not recognizing the manifold "values" forming an "attitude." Finally, they…

Controversies in Doctrine and Method
Sociology has lately become a battlefield of irreconcilable philosophic doctrines and seems to be heading toward total disintegration. Controversial issues endanger its objectivity; opposite epistemologies of radical empiricism and mathematical dogmatism prevent co-operative usage of qualitative and quantitative methods; idealistic and materialistic metaphysics interfere with a methodical division of functions between the natural and the cultural…

Modern Nationalities
Social Groups as Products of Participating Individuals
Human Individuals and social groups do not exist as natural objects; they are data of evaluative and active human experiences which cannot be theoretically standardized as either objective or subjective, but can be reconstructed and objectively investigated as facts by standardized methods of humanistic science.Thus viewed, the group is not an association of concrete individuals by a synthesis of members' roles. Members' roles and groups are cult…
The Object Matter of Sociology
Necessity of determining the object matter of sociology.-In the present chaos of different conflicting presuppositions and methods found in sociological textbooks and monographs it is impossible either to reach a systematization of the results of sociological research or to plan a rational program of future studies without a reconsideration of the current conceptions of the object matter of our science. Sociology as a humanistic science. -Sociolo…

Education and Self-Education in Modern Societies
Modern social and intellectual evolution has undermined the conditions on which education was based: the groups to which an individual is to belong are no longer predetermined and are so rapidly changing that preparation for membership is impracticable; second, the relation of educator to educand is becoming too loose for the former to influence much the latter; third, uniformity of personal type is now less needed than creative individuals; and,…
