Politics, Intellectuals and the University
The current crisis facing intellectuals and the university certainly is multifaceted and not reducible either to pat structuralist explanations or those which would simply treat the crisis as a reflection of the spiritual morass of our age (post-modernist ennui, the eclipse of metanarratives, the collapse of meaning, etc.). This crisis must be seen as rooted in the fall of those lines of demarcation which separate intellectuals from other groups …

Sociology Today
A BOOK written by twenty-six different authors or teams of authors cannot be discussed as a unit. It is, rather, necessary to assess each contributor's chapter independently. Merton's extremely thoughtful Notes on Problem-Finding in Sociology are in part based on inferences from the various contributions to the volume. The sections Ingredients of Sociological Problems and Occasions for Problem-Finding in Sociology ought to be required reading in …
A Unit Concept for Sociology
The basic unit suggested here for the social sciences is the behavior item, that is, any smallest observable meaningful manifestation of a living organism. Behavior items occur in behavior clusters which have meanings of their own in addition to and other than those of the behavior items compsing them. The clusters alson contain behavior particles, elements of behavior that are, in the given population, distinguishable from others and which, thou…

The Value Concept in Sociology
Values may be seen as absolutes, as inherent in objects, as present within man, and as identical with his behavior. Absolutes are inaccessible to science. Values in objects cannot be discovered apart from human behavior relating to the objects. Internal states cannot be observed apart from action. Thus, what people do is all that can be known about their values. The meaning of an action can be grasped without recourse to any other kind of value c…

Existenzialismus und Rechtswissenschaft
They Thought They Were Free
When this book was first published it received some attention from the critics but none at all from the public. Nazism was finished in the bunker in Berlin and its death warrant signed on the bench at Nuremberg. That's Milton Mayer, writing in a foreword to the 1966 edition of They Thought They Were Free. He's right about the critics: the book was a finalist for the National Book Award in 1956. General readers may have been slower to take notice,…

A Quantitative Study in the Sociology of Knowledge
The Social Thought of Jean-Paul Sartre
Disappointment with science characterizes modern existentialism, yet the existentialist Sartre seems to move back to science. Though a philosopher, he deserves the attention of the sociologist because of the hypotheses and thought models he offers. Sartre starts from a phenomenologist epistemology. Man chooses and makes himself by acting. Any action implies the judgment that it is right under the circumstances not only for the actor, but also for…
Operational Definitions in Sociology
A hypothetical concept CN and a refined Cn rate are operationally defined. By using this example, certain weaknesses of operationism are pointed out. The attempt is made to show that operational definitions hamper scientific advance by their inadequacy in dealing with new situations, with situations not measurable as yet, with improvements of measurement, and with choice among various available measurements, and by their inaccessibility to constr…
